Holbrook, MA, April 16, 2008 – With Earth Day fast
approaching on April 22, US Markerboard, a leading school furniture retailer,
has announced the launch of USMarkerboard-Green.com, a new website stocked with
eco-friendly, high-performance desks, chairs, tables, markerboards and other
classroom furniture. USMarkerboard-Green.com caters to the market for green
school furniture by offering premium products that contain recycled content and
low-emissions materials. As manufacturers develop better and greener products
over time, USMarkerboard-Green.com enables educators and consumers to take the
lead in a growing movement that gains momentum on a daily basis.

“Earth Day raises environmental awareness once a year, but
more and more consumers want to take the next step and make a meaningful and
immediate impact every day.” says Scott Newman, CEO of US Markerboard.
“USMarkerboard-Green.com gives proper recognition to our green manufacturers
and empowers consumers to make a real difference with just a few mouse clicks.
On USMarkerboard-Green.com, every product you see is green and eco-friendly. So
no matter what school furniture or markerboard you buy, you’re doing your part
to keep the Earth clean and your students healthy.”

As part of its all-green classroom lineup,
USMarkerboard-Green.com features an extensive selection of GREENGUARD(TM)
certified school furniture. GREENGUARD(TM) is an industry-wide
standard created by the GREENGUARD(TM) 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.

USMarkerboard-Green.com empowers consumers with valuable information regarding
LEED(TM)
and GREENGUARD(TM)

going green. Overall, this new website provides a unique one-stop resource
where consumers can learn about preserving the planet and take an active role
through the school furniture they buy.
