Coffee grinds and printing?

The Greener Gadgets competition just announced the 50 finals – and this one caught my eye, both as an avid coffee drinker and someone who prints a lot of documents:

Using coffee grinds is an ingenious idea, as the ink cartridges for printers are so toxic and unsustainable.

The competition has a public website open to voting:

So, chime in and get your own juices flowing around innovative ways to reuse, reduce, and recycle our way into 2009.

This competition is such a good way to make people aware of all the great “green gagets” being invented. I have just started reading the list, it will take some time. I am delighted to know about the printer and all the other entries! Vinaka vaka levu Kaz!
