Local Business helps reduce the human footprint


Staples store: How to reduce the human footprint?

Eco-conscious or eco-friendly products with different icons of recycling support low living impact at your house and office.

Office Supplies:

- Papers (100% made of recycled paper) includes: copy and print center paper (services used very frequently), or recycled envelopes, sticky notes.

- Staples notebook: made of sugarcane waste: good quality and durability.

- Scissor made of recycled plastics.

- Besides, they have eco- friendly calendar, art supplies.

- Cleaning supplies: Various types.

Polar-based calculator: Using renewable energy

What I am really interested about is furniture products including lighting.

There is no way for incandescent to survive in this store. All you can find there is CFL bulb

Individual bulb price, life span, lumens (brightness), and wattage/electricity cost (how much electricity it takes to light the bulb)

You'll want to go with the LED. The bulb features a life span of 50,000+ hours versus the CFL’s 8,000 hours and the incandescent bulbs 1,500 hours. Considering the bulb’s low energy expenditure

Costs less over the long term and burns more efficiently. (low impact living)I

Technology recycling: Drop off anything: cell phone, PDAs, camera, rechargeable batteries.
