Starting the School Year Green
A new line of green back-to-school kits for teachers and students are available from the TheGreenOffice.com and Green School News.
The kits contain typical school supplies: pencils, pocket folders, crayons, glue sticks, scissors and facial tissues.
The big difference is that every item is either:
- Made with recycled material
- Biodegradable
- Compostable
- Reusable
- Green-certified, or
- Has a reduced chemical content
“As a former educator, I’m committed to helping our schools go green,” said Alex Szabo, company CEO. “We want to make it as easy and cost-effective as possible for parents and teachers to select school supplies that are safe for both our children and the environment.”
