I don’t know what to make of Office Depot. They seem to frequently offer innovative recycling initiatives, but they donate 88% of their campaign contributions to so-called “conservative” candidates (apparently via the National Retail Federation, which as far as I can see has no official party affiliation but is clearly sympathetic to Republican causes) . I applaud their sense of responsibility regarding the environment, but I wonder if they’re doing more damage through their political contributions. Maybe I’m making too big a deal out of a $10,000 donation.

Anyway, Office Depot is currently offering to exchange your used inkjet or toner cartridge for a ream of 35% post-consumer recycled Envirocopy paper. It’s a pretty neat deal. You were probably going to toss that inkjet cartridge into the landfill anyway. Instead, now you can print 500 pages of dumb emailed jokes, recipes you’ll never use, unfocused red-eyed photos of your munchkins, etc., and throw those in the landfill instead.

Update, 2007-02-06: Never mind; Office Depot’s inkjet cartridge recycling program has begun to suck.
