The Green Office

2007-07-12greenofficelogo.jpgLooking to make your home office greener? Well, this store may help you make some appropriate environmentally-friendly choices. We're suspicious of the term "green," especially when it comes to a store. So, when we first clicked over to The Green Office, we wondered how much of it would be hype or faux green. We instantly liked their indicator system, which gives you a snapshot of each product's "greeness."

 
 

2007-07-12-greenscreenkey.jpgThe selection of products is extensive, from envelopes to electronics. It's not so much that the products are made or marketed to be green, but sold from a green point-of-view. While they sell traditional office products as well as greener choices, each is clearly defined through their green rating system. If a choice offers no environmental savings, it is marked "conventional product."

The company itself has a commitment to the environment, doing what it can to offset it's environmental impact. It also promotes recycling with its extensive list of recycling centers, and has a newly founded blog to promote environmental issues.
