Ann from the Three Ring Ranch Exotic Animal Santuary in Kailu-Kana, Hawaii

" Please save empty ink cartridges and we will mail you the self addressed, postage paid baggies that you use when you have an empty cartridge from fax machines, printers or computers for the Three Ring Ranch Exotic animal sanctuary. Then you can just drop into the mail and send them directly to the recycler. This is a great win win for the animals and our kids programs as well as the environment. Baggies can be mailed in from anywhere in the USA.

We answer emails from all students and teachers. If you have questions, to get baggies or to find out more about us please go to

www.threeringranch.org this is linked directly to the request baggies page www.threeringranch.org/empty4why.htm

This is a 501 c 3 non-profit all volunteer facility which pays 0 salaries to anyone. Please consider adding a baggie or two to each Holiday greeting you mail out. This will not increase the postage on your card but will allow more people to recycle, feel good and help the animals.

You can pass the flyer to everyone you know via email to help spread the word. Our free easy program of self addressed baggies will keep ink cartridges out of landfills."
