Women’s ta-tas are all the talk these days. October is national breast cancer awareness month, and by now you’re probably more than inundated with pink ribbon products that donate a portion of proceeds to breast cancer research or help fund mammograms.

The “coolness” factor of your school supplies can make or break a kid pretty quickly (I still remember the day I made a friend over conversation about my New Kids On the Block pee chee folder…). All to often, sending your kids off to school stocked with eco-friendly alternatives means a backpack full of plain journals and boring brown folders. Thanks to New Leaf Paper, you can now adhere to your strict eco-standards, and have a sunny splash of color too.
The bright bird designs and leaf patterned spiral notebooks are cool enough for any kid to carry (you may want to stock up at the office too!). And knowing that the notebooks are made of 100% post-consumer content, it means that no new trees were harmed in the production.

Greening the Whiteboard
Date: October 23, 2008 | Category: Office, The Home
If you’re anything like the ecofabulous crew, you can’t resist the lure of the endlessly reusable whiteboard. Still, those noxious pens can make an otherwise exciting brainstorming session end with an obnoxious headache.
AusPen is writing a new chapter in erasable markers. Not only are the Xylene-free inks clear of dangerous toxins, but once they’ve survived their natural use, they won’t join the 400,000,000 rotting markers that fill our landfills–the equivalent of 25,000 tons! The refillable pens, made from completely recyclable materials, each come with an extra bottle of ink, with a 12-pack retailing for under $40. Committed to environmentally friendly practices, the company has received EEC health and safety approval. So the next time your creative muse hits, you can embrace true freedom of expression without having to air out the conference room.
