Its three weeks until school starts. Whether you are going back university or your kids are starting elementary school, you will need to get supplies. Unfortunately, the notebooks, pens and rulers you need are often made with chemicals, like PVCs, that are toxic to humans and poisonous to the environment. Helpfully, Environmental Defence and the Center for Health, Environment and Justice have teamed up to produce a guide of environmentally friendly school supplies that will make heading back to school easier. More information about the report can be found here:
