Pasadena Gets A Little Greener
August 23, 2008
Thanks to the City of Pasadena (California), this jewel in the San Gabriel Mountains (made famous by Jan and Dean in their 60’s hit “The Little Old Lady from Pasadena) is a little greener today than it was before.
The City office has re-ordered more AusPen markers, which means not only are they saving money, but they have taken literally thousands of the old PVC-made disposable markers out of their local landfills (and they have reduced toxicity in their workplace by using our non-toxic markers).
Pasadena is just one of many City offices in North America that are making “greener” changes throughout their buildings, looking for eco-friendly alternatives to every day supplies. It produces a tangible result immediately, but also conveys to the community that they are committed to sustainability and creates positive actions all over the city.
AusPen is happy to be a part of these changes cities are making. Again, we say this all the time, but small changes can have a huge impact.
I’ve lived in Pasadena for 11 years and found your site through one of my close friends who is a teacher and is a big fan of your Auspen markers. She is very eco-conscious and is always looking for ways to be “greener”. The fact they are non toxic markers is what first attracted her, but all the other advantages are what has made her such a loyal user.
Anyway, I was checking your site out as our office might be interested in trying our your eco markers and I saw this blog posting about the City of Pasadena.
That’s great news that city hall is doing this, I applaud them. Keep up the good work.
