Goin' green back to school

Check out the Green Office Web site for school supply packages with green products customized by grade. I know every school and every teacher seems to have their own special supply lists, but these packages have the basics your student needs. There’s even a teacher kit. I’m not a teacher (yet) but I want to get that one since a I am a writer and writers need paper, pens, etc. I might as well reduce my carbon footprint since I’m buying them and using them anyway. For $49.99 I get:

Green Teacher Kit
This kit contains eco-friendly and non-toxic school supplies including:

• 1 – Envirotech™ 100% Recycled Wirebound Notebook
• 1 – Aurora Products Elements Eco-Friendly Round Ring Binder, 2″ Capacity, White
• 1 – Aurora Products Elements Eco-Friendly Round Ring Binder, 3″ Capacity, White
• 1 – Economy Tab Dividers, Buff, 5-Tab Set, 36 Sets/Box
• 1 – Fluff Out® Recycled White Facial Tissue in Six-Pack, 100/Box, 6 Boxes/Pack
• 1 – Earth Write® Pencil (12-pack)
• 1 – Jimnie® Clip Retractable Ballpoint Pens, 1.0mm, Clear Barrel, Red Ink
• 1 – LH-Refills for Jimnie® Ballpoint Pens, Medium Point, Red, 3/Pack
• 1 – EXPO® Chisel Tip Markers with Eraser and Grip, 12-Color Set, Chisel Tip

The K-2nd grade kit is $16.99, grades 3-5 is $24.99 and grades 6-12 is $29.99. We all probably spend close to that anyway for all those chemical-filled products. Less chemicals are better for each of us as people, young and old, and better for the environment.

You can shop on the site for individual products, too, if the packages don’t interest you. And look for other household products, office supplies and even furniture while you’re there. www.thegreenoffice.com
