The following is a sponsored post. For those unfamiliar with what that means, here it is in a nutshell: I am paid (in this case with a gift certificate to Staples! – can you say kid in a candy store) to simply tell you about something in particular.
I love my job.
Warmer weather is finally here and that means many people are taking their fun to the outdoors with picnics and outdoor parties. I’m sure we’ll all be doing just that in a few days to celebrate the Fourth of July (which reminds me, honey, I want a picnic table). Many office workers are also gearing up for company picnics, softball games, and other ways to have fun in the sun.
Staples would like to introduce you to their Sustainable Earth kitchen products, a NEW line featuring ECO-FRIENDLY products that are the perfect necessities to have on hand to bring a lot of much-needed GREEN to your office picnic – or for the break room, for that matter.
The SustainableEarth products are certified by the Biodegradable Product Institute as meeting American Society for Testing and Materials International Standards.
Products of the line include:
- cutlery (forks, spoons, knives)
- plates
- bowls
- cold and hot cups with lids and hot cup sleeves
As well as paper products:
- folded and perforated paper towels
- toilet paper
- facial tissues
All of the paper products strong and absorbent and will help you to effortlessly clean up any mess that your co-workers make, because I can tell by looking at you that you don’t make any of your own messes. All the paper products have received GREEN SEAL CERTIFICATION for being made of 100 percent recovered paper fiber, containing a minimum of 40 percent post-consumer content and meeting the eco-label’s
environmental standard for bleaching, packaging and removal of ink.
Additionally, the products are all budget-friendly and come in large quantities so you can get “more bang for your buck.” Prices range from $18.99 – $38.99. It’s all good!
Some people scoff at buying earth-friendly products. I’ve never understood that. Who in their right mind wouldn’t want to do their part to protect our beautiful earth? Whenever anyone has ever made less-than-complimentary comments about my tree-hugging practices, I remind them of a favorite quote: “If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.”
You’d be amazed at how fast that brings people around to your side, or more importantly - to Earth’s side.
Please check Staples.com and your nearest Staples for these outstanding items for company picnics and breakrooms. Needless to say, they’re also ideal for having on hand at home. As the primary (read: only) dish washer in our home, I’ve always wanted to use paper products more often. However, being the tree hugger I am, it never set well. Staples has opened a whole new window for me! That was easy. (Couldn’t resist.)
