Tip Of the Day

Heading Back To School

Take Inventory and Avoid Duplicates: Getting ready to go back to school requires stuff -- school supplies, clothes, backpacks, etc. -- but it doesn't always require new stuff. Take a careful inventory of what you already have that can be used again.

Choose Greener Pens and Pencils: The days of package upon package of disposable pen and pencil are gone, replaced by biodegradable pencils, refillable pens, and recycled versions of both. 

Don't be a Paper Pusher: Buy products with the highest percentage of post-consumer recycled content possible and are processed chlorine free (PCF), and use these products to their maximum efficiency by printing on both sides of the paper, and filling notebooks from cover to cover before purchasing a new one.
