Here are a few simple ways to help make Christmas more environmentally friendly and show “Goodwill to our Earth”
- Energy Efficient Lights – Use LED or solar lights for Christmas instead of traditional lights and reduce your energy use by 90 percent!
- Time Lights – If you do use traditional lights, reduce the hours you have them turned on. When you go to bed, turn out the lights. Better yet, put them on a timer.
- Green decorations – Consider reducing the number of lights on your house by decorating with reusable bows and wreaths instead of lights.

If you use HP print cartridges in your printer, don’t throw used ones in the garbage. HP has an environmental initiative that is free and convenient.
Check inside your HP inkjet print cartridge or LaserJet supply box for a postage-paid return and recycling envelope or label. They are provided free of charge in select HP boxes.
If your package doesn’t include the envelope or labels, you can go online and order the free postage-paid shipping materials, allowing you to easily send in your used inkjet cartridge or LaserJet supplies for recycling. To get started, go to www8.hp.com/ca/en/cartridge/recycle.html or type in “hp ink recycling” into Goggle search.
