I will do a lot of things for the environment, but I'm afraid I'd have to draw
the line at using pencils... just can't do it. It fades and isn't permanent like
ink... so mailing things would be a horror. Journals and legal records would
fade and disappear in as little as a decade. Nope, couldn't do it!
