Suhani Umesh Garg's Campaign to Distribute 5000 Plantable Pencils in 10 states and 2 UT for supporting Global Warming & Climate Action Cause

Hi, I am Suhani Umesh Garg, Age 18 years. Working on the project for Goal 13: Climate Actions

United First Initiative

Goal 13: Climate Actions, UN SDG 2030

Total States: Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Jammu, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and New Delhi

Total Cities which will be executed in the above states: 125

Target Plantation: One Million

Sahaj Support in the Drive: 5000 Plantation

INR 2500 will ensure 250 Seeds are Planted. Each Pencil Costs only 10 Rs. 

The idea that a pencil stub can be planted when it’s too short to write with is amazing. This gives it a new lease on life, instead of being thrown away, the pencil becomes a symbol of sustainability. Sustainability means using natural resources in a way that we could keep doing for a long time. We can be more sustainable by reducing our use of natural resources.

The use of this pencil doesn't end when it is reduced to a stub, instead, a new life begins in the way of a plant. It is important that we give back to Earth. I believe it is important to do your bit to help make the world a greener, cleaner & better place to live.

Most pencils, once sharpened down to a stub, serve no further use. A solution to combat this waste is a pencil with a water-activated seed capsule which can be planted when it becomes too short to use. It costs just INR 10 for this unique pencil. What is a writing utensil will now also grow into a plant !! The aim is to plant over 2 Million Plantable Pencils in the coming year.  They usually germinate in about two weeks. 

These pencils will be distributed to students at a school in Ahmedabad. When it’s time to stop writing and start planting, it’s just as much fun to watch the seeds turn into plants. All Plantable Pencil seeds have been selected because they are easy to germinate, they include chilli, sesame, mustard, fennel, tomato, coriander, etc. Plantable pencils are 100% sustainable. All aspects of the plantable pencils are sustainable and non-toxic – from the biodegradable seed capsule to the 100% natural clay and graphite core and PEFC/FSC- wood.
