A Challenge to Offices Around the World

For 2009, I challenge you to get rid of all your toxic markers (regular and dry erase) and replace them with safe, non-toxic, low-odor markers. Your lungs will thank you.

Just a reminder that when you go into your office supply store, you have to ask for both non-toxic AND low odor markers! Office Depot has some great non-toxic, low odor markers (their own brand), and you can check other office supply stores as well. Keep your office (and home) free of fumes from the toxic marker pens.

Please educate your friends and family about the differences in markers.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Office Depot has GREAT Non-Toxic, Low Odor Markers

Check out your local Office Depot and you will find that they carry NON TOXIC, LOW ODOR dry erase markers as well as the regular markers in their own Office Depot Foray brand. They are GREAT! I highly recommend them. Remember, the key isn't just to get NON TOXIC, as many companies say their brand is NON TOXIC when it really isn't! It's important to make sure the words LOW ODOR follow NON TOXIC.

I contacted the management of Office Depot and congratulated them for carrying these markers. If you are happy with the markers, I encourage you to contact them as well.

It's also important to call the office supply companies and ask them to NOT carry the toxic markers!
