The QUB Greens have been collecting used print cartridges this term to be recycled in support of Caroline Lucas MEP and her campaign to become the first Green MP at Westminster.

We have collected 100 print cartridges and a number of mobile phones which will be sent to Recycle4charity!

Over four million used cartridges are thrown away each year and end up in landfill sites!

Not only is this a huge waste of resources, but the empty inkjets are worth £1 to charities and not for profit organizations when recycled. We have also seen an increasing need for mobile phone recycling which is also another item worth £££'s!


By supporting the Recycle 4 Charity campaign we will be helping the environment whilst also donating the proceeds to Carolines campaign!

According to recent polls the Greens in Brighton & Hove are well in the lead with 35% of the constituency's voters followed by the Conservatives on 27%, Labour on 25% and LibDems on 11%!
 
Supporting Carolines campaign also shows the Greens in NI's East-West links as well as our North South links.
 
The QUB Greens hope with our small contribution we can play our part in making Green history in the UK.
