HOT PICKS [FRIDAY]

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Ribbit

March 30, 2007

Far be it for us to cast doubt on the wisdom of Kermit the Frog, but it looks like it may be easy being green after all. With the help of office supply company Frogfile, it sure is.

Offices contribute almost ten per cent of the waste that goes into our landfills. Until now, using environmentally friendly supplies seemed like a costly affair. That made it tough to convince old Tightwad McPinchapenny over in accounting to make the switch to recycled paper. But now, in many cases, it's actually cheaper to use materials that lighten the load our fragile planet must bear.

So, you've got a win-win situation. And Frogfile is the place to go, with a range of supplies from elastic bands to clipboards to paper clips and remanufactured toner cartridges, all made from recycled materials. And everything comes with a 15-day guarantee.

Next day delivery is free for orders over $50. Get your office manager to give it a try. You've got nothing to lose, except your guilt.
