Show the children how important recycling is by giving them a recycled plate for their bicycles. This would be a great giveaway for an environmental or anti-litter group.
The bike plate is made from 25% money (green) or 25% denim (blue) and 75% recycled plastic. Two straps are included for attaching to the bicycle.
I have been attending a lot of green events this spring. A common inexpensive giveaway is a pencil. Since I’m becoming concerned about the number of disposable ink pens I toss, I am going to start using pencils for things that do not have to be permanent such as grocery lists, crosswords, etc. I have not used pencils since elementary school.
A benefit of pencils is that they disappear as you use them. When they are used up, only the eraser head remains.
Recent pencils I have received have been made from recycled denim and recycled money. The ones featured here are made of 30% post consumer waste products.
Let’s take a new look at pencils. They just are not for children any more.
