Green Office Supplies

Each of us use office supplies on a daily basis, whether its just the occasional pen of the software engineer or the wall-to-wall school supplies of the teacher.

Luckily, green office supplies aren't hard to find online. Check out The Green Office for some great options across the board. Then, BeGreen has a line of pens, mechanical pencils, hi-lighters and markers made from at least recycled materials. Refillable pens are also an option. Check out Woody Pens and Wheely Pens to see some. For your paper needs, New Leaf offers recycled copy paper, and Mead offers notebooks of recycled paper. You'll also find New Leaf copy paper at Kinko's now! It's also a good idea to look into refillable dry erase markers if you use a white board often. See Neuland or AusPen if you're interested in these.
