I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
(Psalm 9:1 ESV)
Innovation: “something newly introduced, such as a new method or device”
I have to admit, I am a ‘pen-junkie’. As I was strolling through one of our local supermarkets, I stepped in the stationary/school supply aisle. One can never have enough notepads or pens, right? Well the supermarket had a new product on sale (50% off). I looked a little closer at the new pen by Pilot. Pilot made a pen out of recycled water bottles. How cool is that!!!
Not only are the pens made out of recycled material (86% of the pen), but they are also made here in the United States. SWEET!!! I purchased three packages; I gave two pens already to some of my co-workers. There is another cool thing about those pens: they are refillable. Yup, you can get ink cartridges for them. Someone was thinking at Pilot.
You have to understand: I am totally into recycling (my son calls me a tree-huger – lol). You see, I come from a country that does not have a lot of room for landfills. Germany is maybe the size of Texas (if even that). We have been recycling in Germany since I can remember. Yes, I also use reusable shopping bags. I really wish we could return glass bottles to the stores, but unfortunately only a couple of the states in the US offer the return; Arizona is not one of them.
So, this week I am very thankful for innovation and that some people in the industry try to use recycled items. I hope you check out the stores in your area if these pens are offered; they are called “B2P” (Bottle to Pen). If not, you can also purchase them directly on Pilot’s Website.

I love pens too! I probably have way too many but I love new colorful ones. 🙂
Happy Thursday Iris!
