Rebinder: Green School Supply Kit Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED!

Is it too early to start thinking about "Back to School" shopping?! Bella has been home for about a month now and she always seems to be bored.... I think we are both looking forward to August! We both LOVE to go shopping for her school supplies and new fall wardrobe! We have been lucky enough to review some product from ReBinder and I am thrilled to tell you about them! We received the Green School Supply Kit which contains lots of items that Bella can use this year in first grade! ReBinder products are produced with the intention that no landfill is required! All of their products are made from recycled materials! Every year over 500 metric tons of toxic PVC ends up in landfills as the result of vinyl binders that people use! ReBinder binders contain no vinyl yet they are of great quality and seem to hold up well! I love the fact that Bella can decorate her binders, folders and notebooks any way she likes! She will be able to express her creativity while showing her commitment to our environment!

My husband and I really like the carboard CD sleeve contained in this kit. It seems that we are always needing these to take a CD or DVD with us. They are great becuse you can write whatever you want on them! They are much more durable than the paper CD sleeves we normally use! ReBinder is a great place to start for a sustainable office! The Green School Supply Kit we received came with a binder and 2 replacement covers. This way if the cover of our binder is damaged we can replace it without throwing away the metal binder part! Ingenious!
