Eco Elly’s

This year I ordered some of my school supplies from Green Apple School Supplies (part of Red Apple School Supplies). I got their biodegradable highlighter pencils, 100% recycled note cards (35% PCW), and a staple-free stapler. I was going to order some Banana Paper notebooks but they were out of them at the time. I ended up finding a few at a better price at my campus bookstore. I really love the highlighters. The highlighting doesn’t bleed or rub off on even the slickest of textbook pages. The note cards are just as good as regular (you can’t tell they’re recycled by looking at them). Which is okay…but I’d prefer non-bleached note cards. The staple-free stapler is fun! It gets some interesting looks and questions when I use it in class. It’s only drawbacks are that you’re limited to a max of about 4-5 pages at a time, and that you have to make sure you aren’t stapling over any writing. The Banana Paper notebooks are nice. I like that the paper isn’t bleached. It has definite texture, which I think is pretty romantic looking. And I love the covers. I have one dolphin and one monkey. I feel happy when I see them. I give Green Apple School supply a A- for effort but a B- for selection and keeping items in stock. I give all the products an A except for the note cards, which get a B+ (until they come unbleached).
