Important Environmental Facts to Consider

• Every year over 300 million printer cartridges are thrown away. In terms of weight, that's the equivalent of over 30,000 African elephants!

• Stacked end to end, these discarded printer cartridges would cover a distance of over 24,000 miles -- enough to circle the earth!

• Half a gallon of oil is conserved for every laser cartridge returned. With the United States consuming approximately 700 million gallons of oil a day, we are helping to conserve a valuable natural resource and reduce greenhouse emissions. Remember: oil is a nonrenewable fossil fuel, and it can not be remade.

• Two and a half ounces of oil are used for every ink jet cartridge produced.

• Three and a half quarts of oil are used for every laser cartridge produced.

• In the next seven years, if all the laser and ink jet cartridges are saved from landfills, a bridge can be built from the Earth to the Moon -- 223,000 miles!

• Cell phone usage has grown from 340,000 subscribers in 1984 to over 128 million by 2001. Cell phones are typically used for 18 months before being discarded.

• By 2005, around 130 million cell phones (approximately 65,000 tons) are expected to enter our landfills.
