Wow! Trees Rule

Found this amazing information from Arbor Day Foundation. Who would have believed this. Incredible. Now that we can measure the value of trees...or one tree, let's treasure them as never before:

The Arbor Day Foundation calculated a tree's exact price: "Over the course of 50 years, a single tree can generate $31,250 of oxygen, provide $62,000 worth of air pollution control, recycle $37,500 worth of water, and control $31,500 worth of soil erosion."

That comes to about $162,250 total. That's $3,245 per year. In return for planting just one tree!

The Vacation is Over

After more than a year...it is time to post again on BigScream. So many of you have commented that you missed it, so I will try to be more involved here.

The year has been busy, and the good news is the O'BON continues to grow. We have just opened South Africa...and this has all kinds of opportunities for O'BON. So many visitors and South Africans are very away of the environment. We have early reports that the kids in schools are really in love with O'BON pencils.

The big news for O'BON fans is that we are about to launch a biodegradable pen. This is really exciting for us as this pen is a standout. Designed for the 21st century, this pen is sleek and fits in the hand easily. Moreover, the colors are unique and attention-getting. But, the best part is that when you want to throw it away, just take out the refill and toss it. It completely biodegrades to CO2 and water...perfect.

Will post more tomorrow.
