But before you get the standard items, consider making more environmentally friendly purchases (Environmental 101). This will help conserve energy on a large scale (Macro 101) as well as make your kids look as cool as possible (Sociology 101).
We’ve collected some neat ideas for back to school items:
- Pencils. Gaining popularity on the market are pencils made out of old recycled newspapers. http://www.treesmart.com/ They’re hip, stylish, and are packed full of neat information!
- A staple-free stapler. Never worry about getting a refill of staples again. http://www.cb2.com
- Reusable lunch bags. You can pick them up for $1 at your local grocery store.
- Reusable water bottles. You can make a gallon lemonade and refill it throughout the week. www.theultimategreenstore.com
- A refurbished bookbag. Instead of getting the kids a new bookbag, why not put patches of their favorite fabric (like their favorite sports team) and sew them on to make it extra trendy.
Have a great school year!

I found some great back to school deals for school supplies. I'm pretty much done looking school supplies with the deals i found at http://www.shoplet.com/school-supplies/
Another great option are pencils and journals from O'BON. They too have recycled newspaper pencils but they come in really great designs. They look great. My kids love them. Another great thing is the ink on them in soy based so its all non-toxic.
Wow... What great supplies. I love the list you have compiled for us. Glad there are people out there trying to do their part.
I seriously like the way you write this article and thanks for sharing this piece of facts! It saves my day in some ways. The trend is very important to students now a day and eco-friendly school supplies is something we should practice all the time.
