zero waste office supplies

 

Preparing to write this post, I was going through my office supplies, and I realized something.

I still use the same office supplies I purchased nearly twenty years ago! (Yes, I was that kind of teenager - in fact, I even played "office" when I was a kid, organizing my parents' supplies and writing memos). The staple-free stapler I bought at P'lovers in Park Lane Mall still works perfectly; I will always adore my little bronze book darts; and I still use the eraser-free pencils I inherited from my dad's government job. *

What do these things have in common? They're eco-friendly and designed to last. I like them, I look after them, and they're useful.

Over on Simple Local Life, I'm sharing tips for a more sustainable home office.
