    Kenya has a different form of technology, just because it’s not in the same fashion as we may be used to does not mean it’s not innovation

    Is it just me or is Africa going to lead recycling? From plastic bricks to paper pencils, they've been making great strides!

    What a great idea. Imagine billions of plastic pens end up in land fill, drainage systems washed into marine environment.

    Yall never had those weird paper pencils at school. It looked like wood and feel like it, but when you'd sharpen it, it would be white and papery

    This reminds me of back in the 90s we had those regular orange pencils. But when we used a pencil sharpener we would notice a design under the orange layer, so my dad would shave off the outer layer of standard orange pencils for the colorful designs and patterns underneath

    Hell yeah this is something I think a lot of 2000s kids are familiar with - anyone remember smencils? The pencils with different scents? Those were made out of newspaper too!

    I used to have the scented newspaper pencils when I was younger. If I remember correctly they were called smencils.

    Living in a country like India, I am so damn educated with a degree and all I do I just do is some theoretical talk! 😞
