Go Green With Staples! Earth Day Giveaway

sustainable earth logo

Staples has a  new eco-friendly product line out now called Sustainable Earth.  It includes an array of things most of us use in our homes and offices daily.  They sent me a few things to try out and tell you about.

recycled plastic calculator The Sustainable Earth calculator has a 100% recycled plastic casing.  Both the buttons and casing of this solar calculator are made from used ink and toner cartridges.  At just $5, a sound eco-friendly investment.

sustainable earth multi-purpose cleaner I also tried a sample of the Sustainable Earth Multi-Purpose Cleaner.   It uses biobased cleaning agents to cut down on it’s environmental impact.  The cleaner was formulated in partnership with EPA Design for the Environment Formulator Initiative, and meets Green Seal standards.  I used this for some of my around-the-house cleaning chores yesterday, and found it to be very effective.  At $3.99 for a 32 oz. bottle, and  gallon size refills available for $9.99, switching to this green cleaner is budget friendly too.

I was sent a few of the 100% recycled Sustainable Earth security envelopes along with the other items.  The stock is good quality, and I would think the little green recycle symbol pattern lining the envelopes would shine a positive light on the sender, as well as helping the environment.

All of these products, and many more reasonably priced earth friendly options are available in stores, or on Staples.com.

Disclosure: Product Samples provided for the purpose of review.  All opinions presented here are my own.
