eco-friendly school suppliesby laurie |
Back to school always came way too soon as far as I was concerned, but one of the best things about it – aside from seeing school friends – was buying new school supplies.
For your own kids, go natural and eco-friendly this year with this selection of cute goodies from Indigo and Chapters.
Visit www.chapters.indigo.ca for store locations.
Smencils: Yummy-smelling pencils made from 100% recycled newspapers that come in a corn-based biodegradable tube; what a fun idea! $15.
Textliners: Superfluorescent highlighters made with FSC certified wood. They come in yellow, orange, pink, blue and green and won’t ever dry out! $2.50 each.
Staple Free Staplers:You’ll save on steel staples with these wee hardworkers! They come in blue and green (shown), as well as purple, orange, clear and silver. $7 each.
Pistachio Notebooks: Canadian-made from 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper and printed with vegetable- or soy-based inks. I can feel the inspiration coming on already!
Doodle Notebooks, from $6 each.
Be the Change Notebooks, from $6
Punctuate Notebooks, from $6

I own a staple free stapler and I think it is great because, besides being enviro-friendly, when multiple papers are stacked together, they stack flat without that weird bulge on the top left corner from the staples. Thx for showing the Punctuate Notebooks. I’m sure Grammar Girl would agree when I say, this is when the arts are grammatically cool! Lausen
You’re welcome!
I love the way the staplers look, too; they’re like cute little animals or something!’
