US Markerboard Goes Against the Grain With New Green Website for School Furniture

PRLog (Press Release) – Apr 02, 2008 – Holbrook, MA  – US Markerboard, a leading school furniture retailer, announced today the launch of USMarkerboard-Green.com, a new website dedicated to offering eco-friendly, high-performance desks, chairs, tables and other classroom furniture. USMarkerboard-Green.com breaks new ground in the retail industry by providing consumers with premium school furniture that contains recycled content and low-emission materials.

“Schools understand the growing importance of going green. But it’s hard to pick out the green from the regular products when you visit traditional retail websites,” explains Scott Newman, CEO of US Markerboard. “We wanted to save consumers time and effort in searching for green products while recognizing the manufacturers who spend the time and money to develop entire green product lines. On USMarkerboard-Green.com, every product you see is green and eco-friendly. As a result, you find what you need right away, and you feel secure in knowing your school furniture keeps the Earth clean and your students and employees healthy.”

As part of its all-green classroom lineup, USMarkerboard-Green.com features an extensive selection of GREENGUARD certified school furniture. GREENGUARD is an industry-wide standard created by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) to measure and recognize low-emissions school and office products. Buying these products can help you gain Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for your building, as required by law in a growing number of states and municipalities. More importantly, you keep the air in your school clean for your students to breathe.

Look for USMarkerboard-Green.com to offer a wide range of information on what it means to go green, as well as valuable resources regarding LEED and GREENGUARD certification.  The new site also features a blog with in-depth product profiles, tips on going green, and other useful information. Overall, US Markerboard-Green.com sets a new precedent with its growing selection of green school furniture proven to keep buildings clean and students healthy.
