Staples offers green promotion -- free copies for you!

This is from a press release sent out by Staples:
"In an effort to encourage people to print responsibly, Staples, Inc. is providing environmentally-friendly printing solutions – and savings – during the tax season. Through April 15, Concord-area Staples will offer free black and white, double-sided copies – up to 20 pages - of 2008 tax returns. Additionally, Staples is making it easy for customers to keep an electronic and secure copy of important documents by offering 100 free scans to PDF documents until July 4 at all Copy & Print Center locations for customers who purchase a Staples Copy & Print Center USB flash drive."

Local Staples stores include:
* 76 Fort Eddy Plaza, Concord
* 73 South River Street, Bedford
* 75 Laconia Road, Tilton

Says Staples: Print double-sided copies. In 2006, more than 99,778,437 tons of paper, or 663 pounds per person, were consumed, according to the Secret Life of Paper. By printing double-sided documents, this number can be reduced 20% annually. Using the “double-sided” button on the office copier can reduce monthly paper expenses by $60, according to ENERGY STAR.

Very cool for a copy center to encourage less copies! - and yes, they take in used ink cartridges in exchange for a $3 coupon.

I think it's Staples that has bins for you to donate your old cell phones, am I right? And I believe you can also take your used printer cartridges there. At least that's what I saw at the Fort Eddy Staples.
