US Markerboard Goes Against the Grain
With New Green Website for School Furniture
Leading Retailer in School Furniture
Unveils All-Green Website
Holbrook, MA, April 3, 2008 – 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 GREENGUARDTM certified school furniture. GREENGUARDTM is an industry-wide
standard created by the GREENGUARDTM 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 LEEDTM
and GREENGUARDTM 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.
