This is
enough to fill the entire Sydney Cricket Ground
every year. While we
cannot completely stop all the cartridges ending
up in the landfill, we can definitely
decrease the flow.
Do you know that rural China has become a major
dumping ground for waste from developed countries? Our
high tech trash is being illegally imported into
rural China where migrant workers break it apart
and burn it with no protection from
the health and environmental hazards posed by
burning plastics and toxic fumes.
What about the women and
children of the workers? Massive amounts of
empty toner cartridges are dumped along the roads, in the
rivers and areas where children play. Children are forced
to find recreation among the dumping grounds
with little knowledge of the risks.
We are not asking you to save the world, but by
simply returning your empty toner cartridges to
Cart Collect, you have already started to reduce
the damages. The decision is yours. Help ensure
that your children and children in other parts
of the world have a safe and healthy environment
in which to play by using Cart Collect.
