In honor of Earth Day on April 22, we’ve found lots of earth-friendly office goodies to share!

Chicagoans: some of our picks are from local companies, so you can minimize your footprint and support local business by shopping local.

Earth-friendly office goodies

Stainless Food Storage Containers

Brown bag it to the office? Ditch the plastic bags for this stylish and reusable sandwich solution, available from local company Stainless Cups.

They also carry stainless water bottles and tumblers.

Recycled Sari Journal

With smooth paper that’s perfect for sketching ideas or taking meeting notes, these lovely journals are made from recycled traditional heavy saris.

Find them and many other green goodies at Chicago fair trade and eco-friendly boutique Greenheart.

Bobble Reusable Bottles

These eco-friendly water bottles from water bobble combine form and function beautifully, filtering your water as you drink out of a stylish bottle.

Fill up at your office tap or water fountain and you can stay hydrated, while knowing the water you’re drinking is pure and tasty.

Recycled File Folders

One of the most-used items in our offices has to be file folders. Switch to a folder made from 100% post consumer recycled fibers and feel better about your filing.

Available online at Greenline Paper Company, these folders are a natural kraft color—in my opinion, more stylish than manila! Greenline also sells lots of other recycled office products and supplies.
