341:- The reason why I would prefer to wait is because wikipedia does no run my life (ummm). But, since you asked, I will reply. First, any reasonable search would find numerous cites about this group (see below). Second, the reason you find many news releases from this group is because they are announcing their studies. Yes, they appear to do real research. Third, the reason why one news clip talked about computer printer ink cartridges is because they did a 50-page policy paper on the issue. So, here is the information.

Also, the source added was not about this organization, it's about printer refills...they basically reported on a press release.

Here is a peered reviewed study on the New York Law School’s web site for the
