SBA Green Team Tip of the Week (6/24/09)

Make Green Writing Choices!

Did you know that you can purchase pens that are made out 90% recycled material AND can be refilled? It's true. Most pen companies are now providing incredibly green options for writing. Below are some simple ways to go green in your pen and writing choices:

Want to not waste the barrel of pens? Ask Faculty Services to purchase refills! (We will begin keeping these on hand soon!)

Gel pens & refills produce less waste and last longer than ball point pens.

Nearly all pen types now have a green counterpart! Want a gel pen? Ink pen? 5 mm? 7 mm? Needle point? They are all available in green form.

There are even green options for permanent markers now! These not only are made out of recycled material but can be refilled, eliminating the permanent waste that dead sharpies produce. They can even be refilled after if the tips dry out!

Want to know more about your options in going green with your writing tools? Just ask Faculty Services. They will be happy to purchase the green options you would like and help guide you in the choice!
