Where can I find eco-friendly office/school supplies?

Question

I'm looking for environmentally friendly products, or "green" products in other words..Being green is so in right now, but making it happen is a different story. This is all for Mother Earth! I prefer the large-chain office supply companies (e.g. Staples, Office Depot, Office Max, Target maybe, etc.) since their stores can be found almost anywhere. Anything will do, just as long as they carry eco-friendly products. I'm looking for pens & pencils mostly, but anything green in general.

Thanks ! Just trying to do my part in helping our environment. For those who are doing the same, more power to you ! :)

Answer 2

I was looking for eco friendly school supplies in May for my sons Earth Club. I went to the 3 major office supply stores in my area, Office Max, Office Depot, and Staples. I also checked Target and Walmart.

The best selection was at Office Max, they had several store brands made of recycled content and they have partnered with Terracycle. Terracycle has pens, pencils, markers and mechanical pencils made of recycled material, they have recycled binders and pencil holders made from juice bags, like Capri sun.

The other 2 office supply stores had very limited supplies.

Target seemed to have a couple full lines of ecofriendly school supplies, look for the Greenroom brand. They had everything from spiral notebooks, binders, file folders, and dividers. These were a little more youth oriented, very colorful.

Walmart had a few items, I hope they have more now.

You can also get recycled post it's, index cards, and plastic rulers.

Many suppliers are trying to look ecofriendly when they aren't, so look for the chasing arrows.
