If you've ever glanced at your pencil and felt a pang of guilt for the tree that was sacrificed so you could do math homework, these are the writing tools for you. TreeSmart pencils are made from sheets of used newspaper rolled around HB high-quality #2 graphite. A special adhesive formula is used to bind the newsprint together into a cohesive core trunk that is as hard as wood. The pencils sharpen easily, just like those made of wood. $8.00 for a set of 24.
