Here&#8217;s how it works:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Find a spot in the backyard and bury the biodegradable** components of Paper Mate&#8217;s new Biodegradable pen or mechanical pencil. Place a Popsicle stick or reusable garden marker next to the site so you can easily locate it later. <\/li>\n<li>Check on the pen components at various times throughout the year. Watch the stages in real-time as the components biodegrade back into the soil or view a time-lapsed video of the entire process on www.papermate.com.<\/li>\n<li>About a year later, revisit the site and dig to see what&#8217;s left of the pen components.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;This fun project gives parents a hands-on way to get their children excited about science and helping the environment,&#8221; said Kanan Banerjee, director of marketing for Paper Mate. &#8220;It also empowers kids to make a difference, even when shopping for school supplies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><b>Die vollst\u00e4ndige Meldung k\u00f6nnen sie <a href=\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/news-images\/20100803-02\/10-08-03%20Go%20Green%20for%20Back-to-School%20With%20the%20Paper%20Mate%20Plant-A-Pen%20Challenge.pdf\" >hier als PDF herunterladen<\/a>!<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Each year, U.S. consumers purchase nearly 12 million writing instruments.
