11 Earth Day Deals on Products Wirecutter Loves

On this Earth Day 2025 let us all join the progressive left in demanding the free and unrestricted importation of cheap, disposable consumer goods.  Let us all lift our voices in celebration of micro-plastics in our brains.  Rachel Carson would be so proud of the progress that has been made.  Let's lift a glass of French Champaign in memory of Gaylord Nelson and ignore the environmental consequences of shipping water halfway around the world.

It's always possible to find a handful of refurbished products to erase the guilt of what free trade has provided us.  We have tricked developing countries to wreck their environments so we can have cheap groceries.  We have exploited foreign workers to screw tiny screws so we can have the newest bling.

So, let's all stand in unity for Earth Day 2025.  We can voice spittle spewing outrage over the evil 'other' killing the planet while we peruse Amazon searching for imported bargains.

Kermit said it best: It's not easy being green. If you want to shop more sustainably on an individual level, curbing impulse buys and repairing items you already own are good first steps. Buying certified refurbished kitchen appliances, air purifiers, or electronics can help, too, in addition to saving money.

"Manufacturing requires raw materials and uses energy and emits pollution. That's why shopping preowned is usually better for the environment," says Wirecutter sustainability editor Katie Okamoto.

"And buying a preowned device or appliance through a certified refurbished program makes so much sense, because you get the peace of mind that the machine has passed inspection for quality and safety and is often backed up by guarantees. You save money — often a lot of money — and you skip over that environmentally intensive manufacturing phase. It's a win-win."

Refurbishment programs vary, so always read the fine print to confirm that an item is manufacturer-certified, backed by a warranty, and returnable if necessary. Ahead of Earth Day on April 22, we've saved you the time: The following deals on refurbed Wirecutter picks make the cut.
