Earth day is a great time to familiarize yourself with eco-friendly printers like the Epson ET-8500 printer. As we march towards a greener and cleaner future, we’re always on the lookout for the latest sustainable and eco-friendly technologies. Epson’s new line of supertank printers help you reduce waste and increase productivity—and produce amazing high-quality prints. Learn why this printer is better for the planet and for you, then enter to win one for your home.
Two reasons why Epson EcoTank printers are better for the environment
Over the past few years I have used much less paper and print a lot less at home too. One of the most important reasons is that my children graduated from school and moved out. No more school projects to print. While they were in school I bet we used an ink cartridge every month or two. Parents, you know what I am talking about! Recycling and composting are activities that many of us are doing a lot more than even a decade ago. Purchasing products from companies creating sustainable tech, like Epson, is another way to help the planet.
The EcoTank printers from Epson are just what parents need: you’ll save money and you’ll be helping the environment.
Save money: Ink cartridges are not cheap! With an Epson ET-8550 you’ll just refill the ink reservoirs in the printer when the ink levels are low. You won’t ever buy another ink cartridge! In fact, the ink bottles this printer comes with have so much ink that my family would have gone years without needing to buy more. Each ink bottle set is equivalent of 100 ink cartridges.
Help the environment: Fewer ink cartridges in your shopping cart means less ink cartridge plastic in the environment. It also means less plastic packaging for those ink cartridges, less energy being used on ink cartridge production, and less travel back and forth to transport those ink cartridges. You can see how big a deal these printers are.
Celebrate Earth Day by spreading the news about Epson Ecotank printersÂ
Do you celebrate Earth Day? You can! You could host an Earth Day party: use an Epson eco-friendly printer to create the invitations. Okay perhaps not. Or you could petition the government to turn Earth Day into a stat holiday. That too may be a bit too extreme for most of us. Perhaps a simpler way to help the environment is to just tell friends and family about companies, like Epson, who are making an effort toward sustainability, creating technology that uses less plastic and consumes less energy. Even better when you save money at the same time as you do with an Epson printer!
Then tell your friends to read and follow these instructions and they might win one.

I recycle and take my own bags when shopping to reduce waste and help the environment.
We always first make sure to try to buy second hand items before buying new items.
I try to multi-purpose and recycle things to avoid bringing more items into my home.
Have a rain barrel to collect rainwater, use this (instead of clean tap water) for the veggie garden. Also recycle everything the city collects, repair clothing instead of throwing away, minimize buying more new clothes just for latest fashion trends, donate items for re-sale e.g. thrift and consignment stores
I recycle, repair clothes and if any parts of them (ie buttons, zippers) need replacing, I am totally capable of doing that as well. I have clothes that I have purchased and worn for the past 20+ years that are still in style and classic. I only purchase clothes that stand the test of time. It is all about quality and not quantity.
