April 22^nd marks the 40^th Anniversary of Earth Day, a day to recognize the importance of conservationism and sustainability. For MWV, the manufacturer of AT-A-GLANCE® Office Products, sustainability is both a business strategy and an ethical imperative. It is the motivating force behind our innovative products and environmentally responsible manufacturing processes.

For 2010 AT-A-GLANCE began producing planners, wall calendars and desk calendars with 100% Post-Consumer paper. The planner covers contain 50% Post-Consumer Waste, while the wires include 90% Post-Consumer Waste. These recycled planning products also feature tips for “Green Living”, which can help with your conservation efforts throughout the year. Here are some of the great tips that can be found in these “Green” planning products.

• Go gas! A gas oven with an electric ignition is 50% more efficient than an electric oven.
• Every year we throw away 24 million tons of leaves and grass that could be composted.
• Tune up. Regularly service your car.
• Say "no" to plastic. Bring a canvas bag to the grocery store.
• Program you temperature. Programmable thermostats can save up to 1800 pounds of CO2 emissions every year.
• Buy locally grown produce, and skip the frozen stuff. Frozen food uses 10 times more energy to produce.
