ONE SEED, ONCE CHOICE, ONE ACTION
It’s no secret that plastic continues to pollute our planet. Earth Day 2024 centers on Planet vs Plastic, with a demand of a 60% reduction of plastic production by 2040. An easy way to support this worldwide campaign against plastic is to switch your pens, office supplies, gift giving and more to Sprout pencils which reduces carbon emissions, minimizes plastic waste and gives something back to the planet. It might not seem like a big thing, but if we switched out the nine billion plastic pens that are disposed of every year for Sprout pencils, we’d reduce CO2 emissions by 270,000 tons.
Michael Stausholm, SproutWorld CEO and Founder
Becoming more aware of how much we consume, what these products are made of and how we dispose of them after use is something we can all work on in our day-to-day life. Using Sprout pencils is a reminder that by taking a simple act of green each day, we can drive positive change in the world.
