Whether you’re gearing up to go back to class or getting ready to bask in the silence in your home that usually accompanies back-to-school, cooler evenings during the end of the summer are a sure-fire sign that it’s time to get back into a studious groove.
As an increasing number of parents think that climate change education in schools is key, it only makes sense to stock home office areas, as well as backpacks, with FSC-certified forest-friendly products designed to reduce our impact on the environment.
Moleskine
Notebooks are special items that can be kept through time as mementos to whom we used to be, full of jotted-down thoughts, distracted doodles, to-do lists and the odd stroke of genius. When it comes to keeping all these bits and pieces protected from the elements, Moleskine has long since become a go-to thanks to its standard notebooks, day planners and academic planners made with FSC-certified materials. For a splash of extra fun, opt for the Smiley planner that is sure to brighten up any desk surface.
Staples
With this new school year comes a blank slate and plenty of opportunity for both self-expression and organization. When eyes get tired of staring at a screen’s glowing blue light, it’s time to send that document off to the printer so you can have an old-fashioned read, or maybe inspiration strikes, and there’s nothing like putting literal pen to paper. Regardless of why you’re reaching for a sheet, this mega brand has a greener version to fit your needs. For an extra professional look, opt for the heavier weight Staples FSC-certified laser paper, while a multi-use pack or 30% recycled copy paper can do in a pinch when kids are looking to get their scribble on or if you’re trying to get that graph idea down before it slips out of mind.
Teknion
When it comes to customizing a workspace, this family-owned business is on the level, and they can get onto yours too, no matter what that is. Their Navigate line features smart, adjustable desks with a built-in collision detection system that helps keep any sort of mess at bay, while the Byward collection includes streamlined sustainable furniture at a friendly price point. Along with bringing a sleek style sensibility to the table, all of this brand’s pieces focus on reducing their environmental impact through an FSC certification, greenhouse gas emissions tracking and reduced energy usage in manufacturing, all the while using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as a blueprint.
