There's a new "R" to add to the eco credo: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, REFILL.
Cartridge #57, tri color ink, for my HP 2210 all-in-one printer was running low. My attenpts to print the incriminating photographs from last night's birthday soiree were turning out with heavy green overtones (and no, it wasn't the color our skin had turned due to the excess of sushi or sake).
Marc was running to Walgreens to pick up something else, when my mind's eye recalled a sign at the store advertising "ink cartridge refills, available in minutes." I decided to give it a go. 10 minutes later, 2 encounters with grumpy Walgreen's employees and witness to 1 even grumpier Walgreen's shopper, I had my newly refilled tri-color cartridge ready to print. For just $15!
Pictures are printed beautifully and ready to send to fellow birthday partiers.
One downfall of Walgreen's' refilling process: They insist on putting the cartridge in one of these over sized paperboard boxes for customer tracking. Lose this box and Walgreen's has a pretty spiffy refill process.
