For those who can’t stop pottering
Sustainable Scandinavian company SproutWorld has just launched a Four Seasons pack of pencils that each grow into plants in the different seasons!

SproutWorld creates 175,000 pencils from each replanted tree and then each of those pencils goes on to create a new plant.
