My Project

In our classroom, we believe that learning should be both meaningful and mindful. That’s why I’m requesting an Epson EcoTank printer—a powerful tool that will allow us to print class materials efficiently while making environmentally responsible choices.

Unlike traditional printers that rely on single-use cartridges, the Epson EcoTank uses refillable ink bottles, which drastically reduce plastic waste.

By choosing this printer, we’re cutting down on landfill waste, lowering emissions from shipping cartridges, and modeling environmentally conscious behavior for our students. This aligns beautifully with our classroom goals of fostering sustainability, responsibility, and real-world awareness.

With this printer, students will have access to vibrant, high-quality resources for everything from reading and writing tools to science reports, art projects, and personalized learning materials. It will also support our growing use of reusable and laminated materials—helping us cut back on paper waste while giving students tools they can use again and again.

Your support will help us print smarter, learn deeper, and care more—about each other and the world around us.
