Give your pencil stubs new life
When your pencil’s writing days are over, it’s time to give it anew life as a plant. Fill a pot with fresh soil and place your pencil stub into the dirt at a 30-degree angle, making sure just the capsule is covered. Nurture it with sun and water, and watch it grow! Planting your whole pencil case? The plant names engraved just above the capsule will help you remember what’s what.
Planting your pencils is important because it actively contributes to nature and biodiversity, supporting pollinators and wildlife. Embracing the circular economy is crucial for a sustainable future, encouraging us to give more products, no matter how small, a second life. By giving your pencils a new life cycle as plants, you are making a positive impact on the environment and promoting a greener, more sustainable world for us all.
