If you're a parent, you're probably celebrating. A student, mourning the unofficial end of summer. It's that time of year -- Back to School. And just like other marketed "seasons," there's something to buy. School supplies, accessories, clothes, etc.
But instead of the conventional stuff that was available to me when I was a kid, there's a whole range of eco-friendly options for back to school.
At the The Green Office, they make it easy to get back-to-school supplies with kits for both students and teachers. For example, for kids in 3rd to 5th grade, for $24.99 a kit would include:
- 3 Repocket Recycled Pocket Folders
- 1 Envirotech™ 100% Recycled Wirebound Notebook
- 1 Earth Write® Pencil (12-pack), Made in USA from recycled newspaper
- 1 Classic Colors Washable Waterbased (non-toxic) Markers
- 1 Crayola Classic Colors Crayons, 16/box (non-toxic)
- 1 Triggerwood Pen (plus refill)
- 1 Foohy® Colored Pencils (non-toxic)
- 1 Professional Watercolor Set with Brush, 8 Assorted Colors, Half Pans
- 1 KleenEarth® Steel Children's Safety Scissors
- 1 Washable, Nontoxic, Removable, Restickable Glue Stick
- 1 Pack of 7th Generation Facial Tissues
Buy Green also has a range of eco-friendly office and back-to-school supplies.

Or this elephant dung paper notebook (that's right! It's by Ellie Poo, $9)
