Brainstorming is Now Better for Your Brain
Date: June 4, 2008 | Category: Office, The Home
We recently acquired a used whiteboard here in the ecofabulous office. And as much as we welcome something that could bring more method to our madness, we were instantly plagued by memories of those toxic fumes emanating from the tips of our teachers’ whiteboard markers. Indeed that scent is indicative of the harmful chemical, xylene, which diminishes Indoor Air Quality in classrooms and workspaces - noted for its detrimental effects on the brain. That’s not to mention the millions of disposable markers made with PVC cylinders that clog landfills each year. Luckily, we didn’t have to forego the whiteboard. In fact, we found a refillable/100% recyclable alternative that’s non-toxic (no xylene here!) and fume free. AusPen whiteboard markers are also made using recycled aluminum, can go cap-free for 48 hours without drying out, and work really, really well. The AusPen from EcoSmart World is drawing up sketches for our next ecofabulous endeavors as we speak.
