Recycling is an easy way to set a good example for others and for the surrounding youth. Recycling sends a positive message that will be heard.
A majority of counties in New Jersey recycle merely half of all recyclable materials. If people are nagged about the state of the environment, but have no example to follow, nothing will be accomplished.
One company that knows the importance of recycling is Marcal. In the 1940s Marcal developed the technology to de-ink wastepaper so that it could be recycled into pulp for tissue paper. Since this development Marcal has been a growing leader in its industry.
Owned thus far by four generations of family, Marcal established the paper recycling process. All of the company's products meet or exceed EPA guidelines for recycled products. The leading company uses chlorine free processing and does not use mercury in the pulping process. Marcal produces paper towels, paper napkins, facial tissue, and bathroom tissue products.
Marcal is a great example of what one person's wasted paper can become. Instead of talking about the declining environment, we should do our part to help. After all, this is our home!

The Green Points System
GreenOfficeStore.com has a great feature to make your "green" shopping quick and easy. This feature is The Green Points System. The point system graphic can be found on every product detail page.
Similar to hotel stars, GreenOfficeStore.com products are awarded leaves based on how "green" they are. Each product is reviewed for its "green" features. The product is then given points based on its features. For example, a product that is recycled with 100% post-consumer waste is given more points than a product that is simply recycled.
Don't worry if the product you are viewing has only two leaves. Unlike other sites, GreenOfficeStore.com ONLY sells products that are environmentally friendly.
The Green Points System makes it quick and easy for the customer to find a product. Instead of searching through thousands of products for the four that are environmentally friendly, GreenOfficeStore.com provides "green" choices.
Not only do we provide choices, but GreenOfficeStore.com also helps in the sometimes difficult decision making process. Each product description includes how the product is environmentally friendly!
We appreciate your efforts to purchase "green" supplies and we want to make it easier for you. The Green Points System is just another way we help you find exactly what you're looking for.

Welcome To The GreenOfficeStore.com Blog!
GreenOfficeStore.com was founded in 2007 with the goal of providing recycled, environmentally responsible and energy efficient office supplies to businesses and individuals. We operate with the knowledge that a business can be run both successfully and responsibly. It is our vision to present companies with many, smarter choices and products for conducting business on a daily basis.
Just as the color ‘green’ includes it’s own rainbow of hues – the issues of climate change, eco and social responsibility and sustainability encompass a wide array of choices and alternatives. Whether your company has developed it’s own strong ‘green’ initiatives or is just beginning to ease into eco-awareness, GreenOfficeStore.com can provide you with quality products, at a fair price, with an eye towards environmental responsibility.
To us, the environment isn’t just some far off place. It is the lawn under your feet, the food on our plates, and the air we all breathe. Global warming, the depletion of our natural resources, destruction of ecosystems and decades of wasteful practices are issues for us all. We believe that small, incremental changes towards earth-friendly practices and products can have an enormous positive impact if we all, as companies and individuals, make the decision to chose a better way of living and working.
We are pleased to offer you a wide variety of products which we believe will help attain this goal. On our web site you will find products from manufacturers who have taken both mainstream and unique approaches towards producing recycled, sustainable and eco-friendly products. We’ve included informative articles about these companies and their practices as well as articles on more general issues. Green Resources provides a listing of links to educational, governmental, media, NGO/ private (non-governmental), non-profit and professional organizations promoting greenroof related and general environmentally-friendly activities and programs world wide. We hope you find these interesting and informative.
GreenOfficeStore.com is also committed to supporting other ‘green’ initiatives and environmental causes. Through our ‘Giving Back’ program, 1% of all orders over $50.00 is donated to organizations working towards environmental awareness, sustainability, energy efficiency and other socially responsible issues.
We hope you enjoy your experience with us and see the value behind our products and principles. We encourage you to use this blog to make additional suggestions on how we can help make a difference, as well as, stay informed about the latest trends and products for living and working green.
