I love school supplies! But before my mom and I go shopping for them, we think of the environment, and I hope you will too. First, check your school supply list carefully: You’ll find that you have lots of things already in your house from last year, like crayons, scissors, or leftover glue sticks.

Then plan for the new stuff! This year, let’s all try to buy at least one eco-friendly school supply. You can find them at most of the big stores like Target and Wal-Mart and also online at theultimategreenstore.com.
