A 14 year old pine tree will produce 2500 pencils. That’s a lot of pencils!

There’s an US company saving trees by making pencils with used newspaper! Yes, newspaper. Their graphite centers are wrapped 36 times in recycled newspaper. It saves the newspaper from the landfill and keeps trees safe from loggers. How cool is that?

These new century pencils come in exciting colors and cool designs. They are certainly a must have item for the elementary school crowd and a fashion statement for the junior high kids.

These new environmentally friendly pencils come from a company called O’Bon. Their pencils can be found around the world. Their goal in creating these earth-friendly pencils is to reduce reforestation on our planet. They even donate a percentage of sales back to the community, through education and charities.

It’s nice to find a company that cares enough to put forth the effort to help make the Earth a better place, one pencil at a time. Small efforts do add up.
