There's more to greening up your office than just buying recycled paper products (although that's a good idea), you can also reduce your exposure to toxic chemicals by using earth friendly office supplies. For instance, did you know that many highlighters contain solvents that can cause toxic reactions in your nervous system? You can avoid these toxins by choosing water based highlighters such as the Zazzle by Zebra Pens. Their water based pigment inks resist fading, and write on fax & carbonless paper. They're available singly in yellow, and in 5 and 8 color sets.

You can find them online at BuyOnlineNow.com.

Do you need to find some panels to give your employees some privacy, to reduce the noise in your office and improve productivity? If you find these products confusing, you're not alone. Cubicles and office partitions are among the most misunderstood office products we offer but they're actually a lot simpler than you might think. Verse Panels, from Maxon Furniture are very affordable and can be assembled in minutes with simple, straightforward connectors. We've recently added 3 new panel colors to our selection of office partitions by Maxon to make matching your office decor easier.

When we started using 100% recycled Marcal Paper I wondered how it would be received by our employees and so far so good. No complaints about scratchy toilet paper, flimsy paper towels; Marcal's recycled paper products perform as well as the virgin paper products we used to use. And if you wonder if it has an impact; take a look at this info from Marcal:

Each and every day Marcal's recycling saves...6,000 trees - 2,000,000 gallons of water - 22,000 pounds of air pollution - 140,000 gallons of oil - 30,000 cubic feed of landfill space!

Every single day! And over the course of a year Marcal recycles more than 220,000 tons of paper. And they do it without using chlorine bleach.

I'm very proud to announce that the GSA has awarded a Federal Supply Schedule Contract to BuyOnlineNow. Our contract # GS-02F-0121T Schedule 75-200 for a  variety of office products includes brand names such as Avery, 3M, Bankers Box from Fellowes, Smead and more. As we're only days into this 5 year committment we've got lots to learn but I expect that there will be a lot more GSA stories in the future.
