    We round out the list with an assortment of surprising natural and necessary items:

    There are recycled steel paper clips, $1.09 for a box of 100.

    Check out rulers made of recycled money and plastic — $1.29 and natural rubber erasers (40 for $10).

    Young geeks will like the clipboard (above) made from an old motherboard circuit board, $14.

    Magiglue is an all-natural alternative to regular glue that is non-toxic, reversible with water and comes in powder or liquid form. Glue sticks? Go with Coccoina’s version, which is non-toxic, non-solvent and acid-free, and smells like marzipan. It’s $4.50 a stick.

    And if a stapler is on the list, who can resist these little dog and cat staple-less staplers (below), $7.99.

    Use a layer of organic mulch around plants to reduce evaporation and save hundreds of gallons of water a year. When you need to add or replace a flower or shrub, choose a low water use plant and save up to 550 gallons of water a year.
