The Safest School Supplies

The National Geographic Green Guide fall issue hit newsstands right as most kids were heading back to school around North America. The Cover story was titled “The Safest School Supplies” as it focused on ways for parents and teachers to not only reduce waste in their choice of supplies, but to make the classrooms safer, environmentally, with the products they bring in.

We here at EcoSmart Products were very happy to have our AusPen Markers as one of the feature products they highlighted in their article. They also put a list together titled “Guide To Greener School Supplies”, which outlined seven of the best products educators and parents should know about for moving towards a “green” school.

The AusPen markers were one of the seven items National Geographic tested and put on their list.

Other items on the list were Elmer’s Washable Glue (low-VOC alternative), Prang Soybean Crayons (made from soybean wax) and Ampad Envirotech Recycled Filler paper.

The Green Guide fall issue is packed with great tips and articles on a wide range of “green” topics. You can pick it up at leading retail locations across North America.
