O’BONanza Pencils Review

Office and school supplies have gotten a bad rep for being boring. While they’re functional, pencils and notebooks just aren’t as flashy as let’s say, a bright backpack or a leather office chair.

How is a boring, yellow #2 pencil supposed to compete with that?

Not only that, but office supplies like pencils and paper can also be a major strain on our natural resources. According to agday.org, “Every year in the United States each person uses the equivalent of one tree, 100 feet tall and 16 inches in diameter, to fulfill their wood and paper needs.”

Enter O’BON.

O’BON makes office and school supplies that are fun and eco-friendly. They carry a variety of products from pencils made from recycled newspapers to binders made from recycled cardboard.

And the kicker is that all of their office and school supplies are visually stunning!

I received a package of the O’BONANZA Pencils to review. The pencils came in a bright, colorful box (made from recycled materials) covered with a a juicy fruit design.

Each 9 pack of O’BONANZA Pencils comes with 3 strawberry pencils, 3 kiwi pencils and 3 orange pencils. The pencils are glossy, smooth and work so well that they will put your regular #2 pencil to shame.

I love the fact that O’BON uses recycled newspapers and graphite to make a pencil that will outlast your usual pencil. And at $5.10 for a 9-pack, having the hottest pencils in school or at the office is not only eco-friendly, but budget-friendly as well.

O’BON is the real deal when it comes to working to save the environment. They plant a tree with every purchase and even their website hosting is green! O’BON uses Super Green Hosting where the servers are powered by wind and trees are planted in a bid to reverse the effects of global warming.

So can O’BON pencils save the world? Well, it sure looks like they’re headed in that direction.
