[cid:image013.png@01CF0D2C.6822B1A0] An Early Spring Cleaning Do you have 50 pens, 10 highlighters and other office supplies sitting in your desk or coffee mug unused? Please take them out of your desk and return them to your office supply area. If we do this your department probably will not need to buy new supplies all year. Use One or Two Pens For All of 2014 Pens are treated as disposable items in most offices at Pierce County. As you know some pens can be opened and a replacement ink can allow you to reuse them. I highly suggest these Pilot Bottle 2 Pens that have 86% recycled content from recycled water bottles. If you must purchase new pens make sure they have at least 80% recycled content and you buy refillable ink as well.
