No matter what we do, it seems that every form of communication we use has some drawbacks for the environment. Mobile devices? Convenient, but there are worries about what cell towers do to natural habitats. Paper and pen? That mode usually involves chopping down a few trees. Don't even get me started on smoke signals, as much as I'd love to see a bunch of Lord of the Rings-style relay beacons across the continent.

But there is hope, and it comes at under a dollar fifty a pop. It's the ECOL Retractable Pen from Quality Logo Products®.

This retractable ballpoint pen

• Has a barrel made from recycled paper
• Uses a click-top plunger mechanism
• Contains a black, medium point ink cartridge

The ECOL Retractable Pen is an excellent marketing tool for schools, green consulting firms, community organizations, and any business that wants to promote an eco-positive image. Pair with a recycled paper notepad, and it's sure to catch almost as many eyes as a glowing fire beacon would (and in a much less smoky, air-polluting way). To order yours, call QLP today.
