Go Green: Recycle That Old M8
(Los Angeles CA) With the release of the new Leica M9 digital rangefinder camera, thousands of wealthy elite photo enthusiasts will be flocking to lay down the seven grr on this wonderful new precision image-grabbing wonder. But, what gets left behind? Imagine thousands of pounds of metal and glass just tossed into teh environments in the form of old, unused Leica M8 cameras. I can’t let this happen to my planet.
Announcing the world’s first Leica M8 Recycling Program. Simply send your address to me and I will send you a postage pre-paid box. Just place your Leica M8 digital rangefinder in the box, seal it up, and send it off to me at no charge to you. That’s right, shipping has been paid for! I will ensure that your old Leica M8 will be recycled in a way that doesn’t harm teh environments.
Please pass this link on to any of your friends with an old Leica M8 headed towards disrupting sensitive closet ecosystems. Help them do the right thing. For our Mother Earth!

Thanks for bringing this important issue to light. I do have access to facilities that could safely process a limited number of M8s. I know it’s not much, but I’d be happy to help as I can.
Bill, Thank YOU!!!!111 It warms my heart to see the community step up. If we all work together we can BEAT THIS THING!
I’m tree huggin’ hippy. Send your M8s to me too.
This sounds like an federal environmental community relations program in the making. My only suggestion is to open this program up to more types of outdated photo equipment. I am set up to receive and process any film SLR and DSLR cameras, as well as flash units and light meters.
People should be warned that unused cameras may promote dermatophagoides in the home. A build-up of dermatophagoides may cause respiratory distress and severe sternutation. Protect you loved ones and reduce the amount of dermatophagoides in your home. Feel free to contact me directly for more information on to protect yourself against dermatophagoides.
