BEVERLY HILLS, CA, August 21, 2010 (Press-News.org) The Ultimate Green Store.com - an online green superstore that sells hundreds of eco-friendly products - has announced the launch of their "Save the Planet - Sustain A School" program. The Ultimate Green Store has set up a division of its affiliate program for schools to be able to fundraise online. "The process is simple," says Laura Meyer, CEO of the company. "Schools can join the affiliate program through our website and download banners for their school website or e-newsletters, thereby providing parents with a resource for hundreds of eco-friendly products including a large selection of back-to-school supplies and school gear. The store will soon be launching a Teens & Dorm section that will tie into the application of the program to universities and college students."
A percentage of every sale that results from a click from the school website or e-newsletter, will go back to the school. The program is open to any school - public or private - at any level from elementary schools to universities.
With so many schools communicating with parents and students online and supporting or initiating green practices, The Ultimate Green Store.com believes this is a great opportunity for schools to fundraise and support green products. Announcements about scheduled webinars about the program for parents and school administrators will follow.
In addition to the affiliate component of the program, The Ultimate Green Store.com will be donating a percentage of sales to provide schools in need with eco-friendly school supplies. "Crippled by budget cuts, a growing number of schools across the country are facing a serious shortage of school supplies," says Meyer, a mother of three school-age boys. Educators whose classrooms lack basic items such as paper and pencils must often pay for them out of their own pockets. Supply shortages present a serious challenge for teachers and can lower the quality of education children receive.
The Ultimate Green Store.com will do its job of giving back by donating things like tree-free paper, recycled newspaper pencils, biodegradable rulers and recycled crayons. Meyer says schools will be encouraged to share with their students literature provided by The Ultimate Green Store.com about how the donated items help the planet. Says Meyer, "educating students about going green is empowering to all kids - it gives them something to care about and a greater purpose."
The Ultimate Green Store.com is a one-stop green shopping destination. The store carries hundreds of eco-friendly, recycled and organic products in the following categories: Home & Garden, Office, Baby, Kids, Pets, Clothing & Bags, Bath & Beauty, Gifts and Solar. The store also offers a Wedding and Baby Shower Registry.
As the ultimate web-based destination for eco-conscious shoppers, The Ultimate Green Store provides a collection of many of the finest environmentally friendly products for you, your home, office, kids and even your pets! http://www.theultimategreenstore.com
