Green Backpack Review & -Rafflecopter- Giveaway

School just started this week for DD. With her 3 weeks off between when summer camp ended and the new school began, she was very eager to go back to school and see all of her friends again. Because DD is attending a private school, she does not need to bring any school supplies there (the school actually provides them for the kids). However, DD is also attending Chinese school 4 hours a week so we were definitely in need of some school supplies. 

Although I could have just picked up regular pencils from the stores. I thought this would be a good opportunity to show DD that we could use eco-friendly products even when it comes to things she needs for school. Green Backpack is a company that carries school supplies that are made from recycled or sustainable materials.  The company was nice enough to sent DD 1 package of #2 pencils, 1 package of color pencils, 1 ruler and an eraser to get her ready for school.

Here's the pencil case that I helped DD together. She was beyond excited to see all of her pencils in it. 

The ruler is made from 40% recycled plastic. The eraser is made from 50% post consumer waste (old tires, shoe soles and factory scraps). And, the pencils are made from 100% recycled paper. I must say that while I was sharping pencils for her, I did notice that they were much easier to sharpen than the store bought ones DD had.

DD loves her eco-friendly school supplies. She uses them daily when she does her homework. If you want to be eco-smart too, please visit Green Backpack to pick up some school supplies.

Many thanks to Green Backpack. The company has generously offered 1 box of pencils (winner's choice of #2 pencils or color pencils) and an eraser as giveaway prizes to one of my lucky readers. This giveaway ends on Sep 28th, 2011.
