Step Forward: Staples Stocks Eco-Friendly Paper
A Green Revolution in Your Office Supply Store
Staples just made a giant leap for humanity – or at least for our forests. They’re now stocking Step Forward Paper. It’s not your average tree-killer. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
What’s the Big Deal About This Paper?
Here’s the scoop: Step Forward Paper is 80% wheat-straw waste. You heard that right. It’s paper made from leftover wheat stalks. The remaining 20%? Responsibly sourced wood fiber. It’s like the superhero of paper products.
Wheat-Straw: The Unlikely Paper Hero
So, why wheat-straw? Well, it’s abundant. Farmers produce it as a byproduct of wheat harvests. Moreover, it’s usually burned or left to rot. Now, it’s becoming paper. Talk about upcycling!
Staples Takes a Stand
Staples isn’t just jumping on the green bandwagon. They’re driving it. By exclusively offering Step Forward Paper, they’re making a bold statement. They’re saying, “Hey, we care about the planet.” And they’re making it easy for you to care too.
The Environmental Impact: It’s Huge
Let’s crunch some numbers. One box of Step Forward Paper saves two trees. That’s right, two whole trees. Now, imagine if every office in America switched. We’d be saving forests faster than you can say “photosynthesis.”
Celebrities Join the Cause
Guess who’s behind this eco-friendly paper? None other than Woody Harrelson. Yes, the actor. He’s not just playing green on screen. He’s living it. Harrelson co-founded Step Forward Paper. Now that’s star power put to good use.
The Price of Going Green
Here’s the million-dollar question: Is it more expensive? Surprisingly, not by much. It’s competitively priced with other eco-friendly papers. Plus, can you really put a price on saving the planet?
A Step Forward for Office Sustainability
This isn’t just about paper. It’s about changing how we think about office supplies. It’s about making sustainability the norm, not the exception. Every time you print, you’re making a choice. Now, thanks to Staples and Step Forward, it’s easier to make the right one.
The Future is Wheat-Straw
Will wheat-straw paper become the new normal? Only time will tell. But with Staples backing it, the future looks promising. And a little bit more wheat-colored.
Your Move, America
So, next time you’re low on paper, think wheat-straw. Head to Staples. Grab a box of Step Forward Paper. You’ll be doing your part to save trees, one sheet at a time. Who knew being eco-friendly could be so easy?
