The Green Office Effect: Office Supplies and Office Furniture with the Environment in Mind

by Joi on October 18, 2008

The Green Office

Founded in 2005, TheGreenOffice.com is an online retailer that offers a huge selection of office products focused on green alternatives and sustainability. They were the first online retailer to have this vision and were, actually, one of the leaders of the online push for greenery.

With all due respect to Kermit, they show that, as a matter of fact, it is easy being green. What’s more, it’s downright sexy cool.

From The Green Office.com:

Office products. Each of the 40,000 products in our catalog are competitively priced and ranked by “greenness” using our Green Screen system according to recycled content, compostability, chemical reduction, and third party certification. We have done extensive research and product evaluations to determine if a product is Dark Green, Green, or Conventional to give our customers the freedom to compare products and the confidence to shop quickly to balance sustainability, quality, and cost.

All our products are shipped using our next-day carbon-neutral shipping service, free with a purchase of $49 or more. We use industry-leading shipping companies like UPS and DHL to ensure speedy delivery. Then, as part of our commitment to sustainable business practices, we offset (or neutralize) all of the carbon emissions associated with shipping your order from our warehouse to your doorstep.

On The Green Office.com, you can find just about anything you could hope for including: mugs, coffee filters, lamps (such as the Madison Desk Lamp above), cards, stationery, post it notes (whoot whoot), picture frames, cups, snack foods, utensils, bookcases, bathroom supplies, fax machines etc… And I do mean etc. There are so many other things to choose from. I got distracted by my cat or I’d keep listing. She’s eyeing my Starbucks cup and I don’t trust her. I know that look. I taught her that look.

I have to say that this is pretty impressive the way you do all thing green. Working for and office supplies company myself i have seen the growing number of green office products available.

It is represhing however to see that you offer carbon-neutral shipping – maybe we should take a leaf out of your book there.

I agree, Mark. I think we should all be more mindful of the environment and buying “green” just makes sense.

I think The Green Office, indeed, offers a great deal of motivation to all of us! – Joi
