For those of who either are not allowed to, or who just don't like the mechanical pencils (I myself can't stand them), please consider FOREST CHOICE pencils. They are made from sustainably harvested trees and they are tried and true 'great writing implements". I give them out to my students when they are 'on-task' without being reminded... and it has been a wonderful incentive. The kids love how they write.

Hay I have a piece of lead in my shoulder (an unfortunate locker incident) two years ago (sixth grade) and it's still in there. I also rode my bike to office depot today in search of environmentally friendly pencils and found that they are about 2.50 more expencive that the non-environmentally friendly brother. Why do they make it so darn hard!!!!! Its not easy being green.

my friend has a chunk of mech. pencil lead in her hand, too, so they're not that much safer! So mostly the advise is to not be dumb with pencils (:

To Sierra, In response your realization that eco-friendly pencils ARE more expensive than non-eco-friendly pencils... try to justify the expense by recognizing that your conscious decision to spend more is the responsible thing to do. You can also think about it like this... the availability of inexpensive and non-eco-friendly pencils (and other products) for generations, Americans (and others around the world) have become spoiled with cheap products (just like gas), but the REAL cost of having inexpensive pencils (or anything), is actually way more, because the thoughtless exploitation of limited natural resources will actually make it difficult (to impossible) for future generations of human beings to survive on this planet AT ALL. So, think about the sustainability of the human species you are actively INVESTING in when you choose to spend more on products that are less damaging, and in turn do as little long-term damage as possible. CHEERS.

TO gabriel when your on an eighth grade budget like im on you will see how hard it is

To Sierra, I suggest you let your teachers and/or principle at school know about Forest Choice pencils. If your school administration is willing to buy a bulk amount (that's a whole bunch at once), then it will cost less, and your school could afford to sell them to ALL the students at your school at a reasonable rate. Also, you could consider just getting a few of your friends together to split the cost of a bulk order. Why be the only student at school with eco-friendly pencils when you could be a whole community of conscious 8th graders. Also, maybe if your parent(s) (or guardians) knew what you are trying to do (and why) they would chip in a little too? Maybe? Keep thinking of positive ways to reduce your impact and know that even if you can't afford it this year... someday you will be able to, and your motivation and intention are respectable and I appreciate it.

I have a piece of lead left over from my brother over 30 years ago in my right hand, middle of palm. It has never given me any troubl eexcept for the initial stabbing lol.

Every now and then, I see the blue and gray remnant of the pencil tip that was thrust into my left thigh almost two decades ago, in the eighth grade. The true damage that it did remains a mystery to me, but I still have the scar...and memory of that fateful day.
