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.
