Go Back To School Greener

As everyone is thinking about going back to school, these next two tips are about helping your child to be greener at school this year.

Shopping with your child will allow them the opportunity to select "cool" green products for their back to school supplies. When purchasing school supplies, recycled materials are best! Look for recycled paper, notebooks and other paper supplies.

Recently, there has been a big push to stop using wood pencils, or to select green pencils for use at school and at home. Try PaperMate’s “Earth Write” line, a nice quality recycled wood pencil. Many stores are selling eco-binders as well as recycled content backpacks.
