Product Reviews By Heather McGee-Parkin
BACK TO SCHOOL SEPTEMBER Heather McGee-Parkin
We may all secretly be giving a sigh of relief as our children return to school, but that doesn’t mean we don’t love the little angels. Keep your cherished ones supplied with reusable alternatives like eco-friendly lunchboxes and recycled stationery or perhaps even an organic uniform. There is a wealth of earth-friendly educational products out there, making it easier than ever to keep our kids green.
Choice Point Magazine has unearthed a few eco-friendly back to school suppliers to help keep you inspired. 1. FAIR TRADE UNIFORMS
