Schneider fountain pen Wavy. A good choice from A to Z, also for the climate.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The four bright colours in blue, green, orange and pink are a highlight in any
pencil case.  Successfully learning to write is guaranteed with the
pressure-resistant stainless steel nib with iridium tip A. Effortless, fluid and
comfortable writing sensation makes writing fun.

The ergonomically rubberised grip profile supports the correct and fatigue-free
writing position for beautiful handwriting. The non-slip, universal soft grip
zone with the large finger areas prevents pressure points and is equally
suitable for right- and left-handers.

The sturdy metal clip withstands the play instinct of children's hands. The
standard ink cartridges fit for refilling, whereby the royal blue ink is
erasable.

In order to place the right environmental topics with this young target group,
the Wavy fountain pen is climate-neutral and manufactured with green
electricity. With the purchase of this product, you also decide in favour of
climate protection for plastic-free oceans. 

Over 8 million tons of plastic waste end up in the ocean every year - one dump
truck every minute. By 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the oceans
unless humans change their behaviour. Especially in developing countries, huge
amounts of plastic waste are created by packaging and a lack of infrastructure
to dispose of waste. This garbage accumulates on land and quickly reaches the
sea via rivers and wind. 

To prevent this, Schneider supports the project offered by Climate Partner
[https://fpm.climatepartner.com/tracking/project/53739-2112-1001/1087], whose
approach is to exchange money for plastic. In Haiti, Indonesia and the
Philippines, garbage collectors can earn their income this way. Everyone can
collect plastic waste there and exchange it for money, food, drinking water,
mobile phone credit, cooking oil or even school fees at the local Plastic Bank
collection points. The exchanged value is higher than the actual market value of
the plastic, so local people can really make a living from it. 

As a result of this project, a lot of plastic does not even end up in the sea.
It is recycled and processed into so-called social plastic, which becomes new
products in the cycle - ecologically and socially compatible. ClimatePartner
supports this project in combination with a Gold Standard climate protection
project, an installation of photovoltaic solar modules in India, for an
increasingly independent supply of clean electricity to the population:

10 kg of plastic waste are compensated.The Wavy fountain pen is available in a
cardboard box, on a blister with two cartridges or in a high-quality cardboard
display with 20 pieces.
