Calling all back to school shoppers stocking-up on supplies for the coming school year, and all office managers who send out weekly orders for supplies, do you have an urge to go green (or at a very minimum green(er)? Are you confused by all the options or perhaps the lack of options when it comes to greening your office or buying supplies for school? If you’re shopping online then Shoplet.com has the answer. With seemingly as many choices as the usual big box office suppliers including Staples and Office Max and a 110% price guarantee, Shoplet.com monitors your selections online by letting you know which items you currently have in your cart that has a greener alternative. They then give you an option to compare the prices side-by-side before making a final selection.

The new “green your office” icon makes it easier than ever for anyone to be a eco-smart shopper. It’s also easy to dive in and take a look at the large assortment of products that are sustainably friendly by clicking on the “shop green” tab available while surfing any page at Shoplet.com. Although I consider myself to be somewhat green savvy, I was admittedly astounded by the large selection of products that they have deemed environmentally preferable and eco-friendly products. You can find everything from recycled paper to ink toner and furniture made from recycled steel. The selection coves over 14 subsections grouped by product category. In total, there are more than 6,000 eco-friendly alternatives available for you to peruse.

While it is true that the “Shop Green (feature) further establishes Shoplet’s commitment to the environment and enables its customers to save money and save the planet,” according to founder and CEO Tony Ellison, we cannot find any online documentation as to how they find and/or rate their eco-friendly selections. Until proven otherwise, we will remain hopeful that Shoplet is as weary of green-washing as we are when it comes to their Shop Green feature and are doing their best to make sure the greenest of all green products really shine through.
