Pencils are perhaps the most important objects that we use daily. The utility of a pencil cannot be
encapsulated in a nutshell. It is an absolutely indispensable article for a child as well as a
draughtsman and an artist. The engineers use pencils to draw models of buildings and tracing them on
a paper. As far as the wood required manufacturing pencils are concerned, replacing the chopped tree
with a new plant can restore it. Wood pencils consume 10% and 60% of the water consumed by paper
and plastic pencils respectively. They require half the amount of energy used to produce the other
substitutes. And the best part is that the waste is far less hazardous than it can be with the
alternatives. Hence it is evident that a pencil is relatively superior as an eco-friendly product
besides the fact that they are extremely essential for us. |

I do not believe that pencils are a threat to our environment. To begin with, they use very little
wood. Some pencils are even recycled wood. I believe we need to be more concerned with things such
as global warming or recycling plastics. Pencils have been around for many years and there has never
been an issue with it. Therefore, I do not think that we should be concerned about something as
small as pencils. There are many other bigger issues to worry about. As they say, "Don't sweat the
small stuff, it is just small stuff." |

Pencils are affecting the environment to such a small extent that it is negligible. Why should we
try to prevent such small issues when we can focus our energies on bigger improvement steps like
recycling?
I believe when we will be close to perfection we can only then take up matters of such tiny
significance like the detrimental affect of pencils on the environment. |
