Product Lines

Press Release Body: Holbrook, MA, April 14, 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 certified school furniture. GREENGUARD is an
industry-wide standard created by the GREENGUARD 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.

In addition to its all-green product line, USMarkerboard-Green.com empowers
consumers with valuable information regarding LEED and GREENGUARD certification,
as well as a blog with in-depth product profiles and tips on 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.
