1000 Flowers for the Planet - #78 Use a Mechanical Pencil
A mechanical or propelling pencil consists
of a metal casing, much the same as a pen, into which you put a thin stick of lead
(not actually lead, pencils are made
from graphite and clay). The lead is extended through the tip ready for
writing, and can be extended on wear by the click of the button at the end of
the casing. They tend to be much more consistent in thickness as they wear, use
a higher percentage of the lead than wooden pencils tend to, and the lead is
replaceable.
Like a personal fountain pen, your own
mechanical pencil is more likely to be better cared for, not lost easily and
will make you feel stylish.
