About Me

Greening the World One Office at a Time:
As you know, “green” is now hip – Vanity Fair, Newsweek, Al Gore – everyone tells us that we just can’t go on using it up and throwing it out. Enter: a real solution for the hippest and sexiest of all industries (and one of the most polluting) – OFFICE PRODUCTS!

TheGreenOffice.com aims to bring sustainability to the workplace by making it easy to purchase high quality, environmentally and socially responsible office products at great prices. Our approach is two-pronged:

    Getting you the products your office needs to be green Educating customers and promoting sustainable business practices.

Free same day shipping is offered for orders over $49--and all of our packages are sent using our Climate Conscious Shipping where TheGreenOffice.com offsets all of the carbon emissions associated with the delivery of your order. The Knowledge You Need:

To learn more or start greening your workplace visit www.TheGreenOffice.com . History:
TheGreenOffice.com was established in 2005 by Alex Szabo, a former sustainability consultant and educator who experienced the need for a single source of environmentally and socially responsible office products. He pitched the idea to long-time friend, engineer, and management consultant, Garrett Miller who was immediately intrigued. Soon Mr. Miller left his position in corporate America to help build a company dedicated to social justice and ecological balance, not just the bottom line. TheGreenOffice.com has since worked hard to build a one-stop resource for sustainable office products, services, tools, and information.
