So, as we approach Earth Day (April 22), consider some of the latest earth-friendly products for your home workspace, designed with sustainability in mind:
Never run out of ink with the HP Instant Ink subscription plan. More than 1 billion original HP ink and toner cartridges have been recycled by customers through HP’s recycling program, Planet Partners. HP uses those returned cartridges to make new ones. Using recycled plastic instead of new plastic in Original HP Ink Cartridges reduces the fossil fuel used for plastic production by 62%.
The HP Envy Inspire is a printer geared for the home office that is made with over 45% recycled plastic. This is a versatile all-in-one printer that can scan, print, or copy. Bonus? Users can use the HP Smart app to send pictures from their smartphone straight to the printer.

While consumers can keep their eyes out for products that support overall sustainability, there are plenty of other ways to help the environment and celebrate Earth Day:
Plant a Tree: Trees are essential to our environment, they help to clean the air, provide oxygen, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Planting a tree is a great way to celebrate Earth Day and give back to the planet.
Reduce Energy Consumption: Turning off lights, unplugging appliances when not in use, and using energy-efficient bulbs can reduce your carbon footprint and save money on your energy bills.
Switch to Renewable Energy: If possible, consider switching to renewable energy sources like solar or wind power. This can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support the transition to a more sustainable energy system.
Reduce Water Usage: Conserving water is essential to protect our environment. Simple actions like fixing leaks, taking shorter showers, and using drought-resistant plants can help to conserve water.
Reduce Waste: Reduce your waste by recycling, composting, and reducing your use of single-use products. This can help to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills or pollutes our oceans.
Support Sustainable Agriculture: Support local and organic agriculture to help reduce your environmental impact.
Educate Others: Share your knowledge about environmental issues and encourage others to take action. This can be through social media, hosting events, or talking to friends and family.
Earth Day is a great opportunity to reflect on our impact on the environment and take action to protect it. By making small changes in our daily lives and advocating for policy changes, we can all make a difference and celebrate Earth Day every day.
