The Best Desk Supplies for Kids of All Ages
The summer is winding down and as August begins, I'm starting to get excited about going back to school. I've interned at Sprig.com all summer, which is obviously the best summer internship anybody could ever ask for [Eds. note: We love you, too, Tori!], but like every other college student, I can't wait to escape reality and head back to the bubble of my university. While very few people look forward to summer coming to a close, there's one tradition that, whether you admit it or not, you look forward to: back-to-school shopping. Why not further honor this age-old custom by purchasing environmentally friendly supplies—this way you're doing your part to ensure many more years of this annual small pleasure? Stock your desk or pack your backpack this fall with eco-friendly pens, pencils, blank CDs, mouse pads, rulers, binders, index cards, glue sticks, organizers, markers, staplers, notebooks, highlighters, scissors, and push pins that will have you eager—if only for a second—to get back to the grind. —Victoria Lewis
