Help save our earth

Tell Canon to help recycle for a greener earth

Canon Corp.

While buying new printer ink for my copier, I found re-manufactured ink but it did not work in my printer because the machine recognized my cartridge as used. It will not work with a used cartridge that has not been set to recognize the level of ink. If the printer cannot recognize the ink level, i.e used cartridges, it will not preform.
Tell Canon that they need to be more Earth friendly. That recycling these cartridges is important to keep them out of the landfills. The costs of ink are often as much as a new printer. I bought my printer for $25 and the ink cost me almost twice that much. Many people are throwing out the old printers and buying new ones. They could be more conservation minded.

Please consider being more conservation minded by recycling your ink cartridges for your printers. Printers currently recognize the cartridges as used and the printer will not preform.
We have to be conscious of the impact on these products as people are throwing away the copiers and buying new ones rather than buy the expensive ink cartridges.
The old cartridges as well as the old printers are clogging up the landfills all over the world.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. We need to think of our future earth.

Canon has a responsibility to their customers to be more eco-conscious. If we don't take care of our environment, what will we take pictures of that are worth printing?

Absolutley! Everyone must do their part.

Canon- a very popular company- should jump on the green clean energy bandwagon.

Recycling lowers material costs for both Canon and the consumer -- it's a win-win situation

Canon needs to reconsider the value as opposed to profit. Recyclable printers are much wiser in the long term as opposed to the disposal ones we have keep buying

Naturally all disposable and/or artificial products damage Mother Nature and her inhabitants. One day we will be staring at ourselves alone as nothing will be left. Think and act NOW!! Recycle all you can or soon we also will become extint.

I have a Canon printer.A local drug store chain refills ink cartridges for about 1/2 price,but not my Canon, so I have to buy new ones every time.

Everything we do has a negative impact on the planet.
