April 22nd is Earth Day. Earth Day is a day in which people are encouraged to become more aware of our environmental impact, and to learn new ways to help prolong the life of our planet. At BuyOnlineNow.com, it is also a day you can save 20% on all environmentally friendly office supplies.

Earth Day was started in 1970 by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson and is celebrated in many different countries worldwide. In America during the mid and late 1960s, there was an awakening among many people that coincided with the hippie movement, which resulted in a stronger appreciation for the earth that left many people asking what they could do to help protect the planet from destructive practices such as pollution and deforestation. April 22nd, 1970, the first official Earth Day, marked the beginning of the modern environmental movement.

BuyOnlineNow has a commitment to providing their customers with environmentally friendly alternatives to many of the popular office supplies they sell. In March of 2007, they opened their “Go Green” option of office supply and office product shopping. By using a strict guideline of listing only products that are made from at least 30% post consumer waste as “green,” or environmentally safe biodegradable material, BuyOnlineNow ensures that their “Go Green” program truly gives their customers the best option to make earth-friendly choices when shopping for office supplies. Ring binders, file folders, Post-it notes, cleaning supplies and calendars are just some of the office supply options available in “green” alternatives. BuyOnlineNow hopes that by offering a one day only discount of 20% on all eco-friendly office products, they can help raise awareness among their customers that there are more responsible options available for those that want to do their part to help the earth.

Since 2000, BuyOnlineNow.com has been selling office supplies and office furniture online. They currently stock over 27,900 different products in 85 distribution centers across America. BuyOnlineNow.ca opened in March 2007, offering more than 9000 products from 5 distribution centers located throughout Canada.

Sharpie will recently be releasing a brand new product that we here at BuyOnlineNow are really excited about, a stainless steel Sharpie marker.  Sharpie has been very successful with the time-proven design of their sharpie permanent markers, sturdy construction, comfortable grip, smooth and even writing capabilities and a clip to fasten the marker to your pocket.  Now, with a stainless steel cap and body, the sharpie permanent marker has become more, well, permanent.

Not only does the stainless steel enclosure ensure that your marker will last forever, but it really brings the aesthetics to a whole new level.  Seeing it in person, one can really admire the smooth shine of the steel as it twinkles under the fluorescent lighting of the office, much like a movie star’s eyes reflect the hundreds of paparazzi flash bulbs as they walk the red carpet of a big time Hollywood movie premier.  The rich, elegant steel absorbs the ambiance of whatever room you’re in, instantly making you feel like the star of the show, and is sure to give it’s handler an instant and lasting sense of purpose and self-assuredness.  The brushed shaft is deliciously accented by the shininess of the clip and ring, while the understated yet bold Sharpie logo along the side projects a sense of sure-handedness that signifies the heroic personality the marker unflinchingly exhibits.

There are no worries of running out of ink either, as changing the refill is as simple as unscrewing the empty one and screwing in the fresh one.  My initial feeling, is that the marker is sure to cause ripples throughout the industry for quite a while, as putting this much power into peoples hands could reflect incredible, long-lasting changes and shake up the way we look at permanent markers.  I’m excited to see what happens.

Stainless Steel Sharpie permanent markers are available now, so my recommendation is to start mentally and physically preparing yourself so you’ll be ready to not only act, but also react, when this powerful piece of machinery finds it’s way into your hands.

Also, there's a great write up about the new Stainless Steel Sharpies on the OfficeSupplyGeek blog, I highly recommend reading.
