This Week's Green Home Special: |
|||
This week Green Home is offering $10 off one of our favorite green products, a set of naturally beautiful recycled cardboard 3-ring binder notebooks. Called the Rebinder, they are made of strong corregated cardboard and use a minimum of 38% post consumer waste. “Normal” notebooks and binders are made out of vinyl, one of the most toxic* substances we use on a daily basis. Now is a great time to start getting Vinyl out of your life, and these eco-superior binders are a great way to do it. Send the message that you care about the environment by carrying your papers or presenting your reports in these handsome light brown binders. The recycled corrugated cardboard one-piece cover portion of the binders is affixed to the metal spine and three heavy-duty metal rings by two screws and t-nuts. The metal assembly can therefore be "reused" by ordering (also on sale) just the covers! Recycle the old cover and it’s a zero waste binder! All the materials used to make these binders are locally sourced. It’s a truly green product: recycled, recyclable, durable, local and reusable. They are also more resistant to spine-tearing and last longer than the traditional vinyl binders. These binders are assembled by people with physical disabilities, giving not only back to the earth, but to the community as well. This is the guaranteed lowest price you will find anywhere for one of the most beautiful and practical eco-products ever invented.
Don’t forget to stock up on these other great recycled office supplies:
Greenfully, *Vinyl is PVC, or Polyvinyl chloride. Vinyl releases chemical softeners called phthalates, which have been associated with increases in respiratory sensitization (asthma) and many other health problems. When incinerated, vinyl produces dioxin, one of the most toxic substances known, found to cause cancer and reproductive disorders. In fact, vinyl is the largest source of chlorine (needed for dioxin production) in municipal waste incinerators. Vinyl also has the poorest recycling record of all plastics. |
