It's a Great Classroom Project!

Your school or class can earn points and cash...just recycle ink cartridges...

Start a group program at school or work. You will be earning free merchandise in no time! It's a good way to recycle. Be part of this easy and rewarding program.

Every Litter Bit Counts and adds up, too!

Did you know that by recycling ink jet cartridges you are responsible for making a pretty big impact on the environment. It may seem small-but every litter bit counts

• Three and a half quarts of oil are used for every laser cartridge produced.
• Two quarts of oil are conserved for every laser cartridge returned through the Funding Factory Program.
• Two and a half ounces of oil are used for every inkjet cartridge produced.
• Every year over 275 million cartridges are thrown away. In terms of weight, that is equivalent to over 30,500 African Elephants!
• Stacked end to end, cartridges thrown away in one year would cover a distance of over 24,000 miles-enough to circle the earth.
• In the next seven years, if the all laser and inkjet cartridges are saved from landfills, a bridge can be built from the Earth to the Moon-223, 000 miles!

Recycle ink jets and cell phones earn points and money

Our Halloween Page

Halloween is fun and games, but it isn't just about getting candy, bobbing for apples and winning prizes for costumes. This Halloween think about helping others while helping the planet. Practice the 3 "r"s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Here are some quick tips from Planetpals to help you share and care:

• Share your candy with a less fortunate friend.
• Have your class collect donations for a good cause.
• Make your costume out of recycled materials such as cardboard, cans, paper, old clothes or tin foil.
• Think of ways you can recycle or reuse the candy wrappers and candy bags.
• Recycle your pumpkin, by making delicious dishes and drying the seeds. You can find plenty of recipes for these!
• Donate your costume to a thrift shop when Halloween is over.
• Save your decorations to use again next year.
• You're only limited by your imagination! Maybe you can think of more ideas!

Five great recycle costumes for Halloween!

DICE: Use a large cardboard box, Cover it in white and make large black dots. Then cut a hole on top for your head and one on each side for your arms.
Tin Can Man: Remember the Wizard of OZ? Use tin cans and aluminum foil for this one...be crazy!
Playing Cards: Have your friends go as a full deck or go alone. Get two large pieces of cardboard and draw your favorite card on each side (be a king, queen or ace!). Use string to attach each side and wear over your shoulder.
GHOST: Easy as using an old sheet and cutting eye holes with scissors.
