I know you are interested in recycling your home items and purchasing items made from recycled materials or renewable source components. But have you ever considered using a pen made primarily from corn? Corn is a great element as it is an annually renewable resource obtained right here in the USA.

The Papermate Earth Write retractable ball point pen is such a pen as described above. But that is not even the coolest part of the this fine pen. The majority of pieces in this office supply are biodegradable. That’s right earth lovers – When you are done using this pen, simple take away the ink cartridge and any metal parts and place them in your recycle bin and toss the remaining components – - right in your backyard compost pile.

Whoa. The biodegradable pieces will break down in about 12 months.

Is this awesome or what? What a great alternative to crowding our landfills.

The Papermate Earth Write is a eco-friendly pen that makes a great stocking stuffer or gift. It’s also an excellent ice breaker. Buy them by the dozens and hand them out to friends and family, or anyone else you want when wanting to begin a dialogue about the benefits of recycling. Talk about getting your point across.

And to top it all off. This is a high quality pen that feels good in your hand when writing and looks good at home, school or at the corporate board meeting.
