I came across information through a business customer and looked further into it. Here is what I found, " Over 700 million cartridges were thrown away world-wide in 2003 - and since more and more people use inkjet cartridges this amount will continue to grow year after year. Empty cartridges contain residual toner powder, ink, a plastic casing, aluminum and other parts. These parts are all non-biodegradable and they will take more than 1000 years to decompose in landfill sites. The remanufacturing of cartridges as an alternative to producing new ones currently reduces world demand of oil by 300,000 barrels and saves 17,000 tons of aluminum as well as 10,000,000 tons of timber. Besides helping to reduce carbon emissions, a major cause of global warming, it conserves resources and reduces waste. 1.5 pints of crude oil are needed to produce one cartridge. In the last 6 months alone inkjet cartridge recycling has saved more than 50 million liters of oil, more than the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska's Prince William Sound in 1989." Wow, so my whole point is this client twotonellc.com remanufacturers ink and toner cartridges and considering the above information it only makes common sense to buy remanufactured ink and toner cartridges. You save money, get a higher yield (more prints) and save money. Here’s something that is so easy, cause everyone will have to do, that make so much sense.

The conclusion was that no one really cares, except for a quiet minority. So it is very important that we lead by example. And remember: even the smallest changes can make a big difference. Donald, thank your for your contribution.

Instead of driving, ride a bike, the bus, walk, or even just car-pool. It saves a lot of money, helps the environment, and makes the morning commute more fun and less stressful. Also, become a vegetarian. Meat is horribly expensive (and usually horribly infested with hormones and preservatives). In addition, cows are responsible for something like 20% of the greenhouse gas increase, so finding other things to fill your diet decreases demand for beef and decreases the amount of cows and the methane they produce. Ride a bike and eat veggies. It's more fun, healthier, and cheaper! Good point but you left out two extremely effective ways of saving money and energy: ditching the car and foregoing the meat.
