Grace Enderlein is a freelance writer and editor. “Everyday Use of Environmental Products for the Home and Office” notes the availability of green products for many uses. Greenlinepaper.com is a socially responsible company who supplies environmental office products and other green products for the home.
Think you can’t change the world? Think again. Considering your everyday routines, there are steps you can take using environmental products to conserve resources. From home use products to the business office, there are many “green” product options that perform just as well or better than the more wasteful alternatives. It is as simple as being mindful of the availability of environmental products, and using them on a daily basis with your regular routine.
Start a morning at home with responsible choices for personal care products, including shampoos, conditioners, lotions and soaps, which are organic and contain no petroleum derivatives or chemicals. Even the fabrics you choose for clothing and towels can be environmentally sound, including organic products and 100% chemically untreated cotton. Look for household paper products like tissues, paper towels, toilet tissue and napkins made with 100% recycled fibers and post consumer waste, and also which are processed chlorine free.
These everyday choices make a difference for a more sustainable earth. Many household cleaners are highly toxic and non-biodegradable. Choose all natural ingredient products for cleaning your home, and check to see if the packaging is recyclable. Non-toxic and cruelty-free products are readily available and are very effective cleaners. Plastic trash bags for use at home or in the office are now available in recycled plastic as well as vegetable-based, compostable “plastics.”
How about the use of environmental products in the office? There are many responsible choices for office supplies. Considering the huge volume of paper used by the average office, it is critical to make educated choices when purchasing recycled paper. When buying office paper; including copier paper, envelopes, file folders, etc., look for 100% post consumer waste (PCW) and chlorine free processing. Some papers are labeled recycled or recyclable but only use a small percentage of truly recycled, post-consumer content paper. Additional environmentally responsible office supplies available include pens, pencils, remanufactured toner cartridges, and much more.
The choices are abundant for products that can be used everyday in a home, school or office. And, they are easily accessible at a reasonable cost. The choices that we make with our purchasing dollars can have a profound impact on the future for our earth.
