Is it more "green" to use a pen or a pencil to write?

Question

A subquestion is, mechanical versus "regular" pencil, etc.

Answer 1

Green, as in new at something?  As in, "He's green at operating a tractor so give him some time," ?

Uh, well,  I use both.  Even at my job.  Pen, pencil, finger with ink on it.  Who cares as long as it writes.

Answer 2

Pen.  You have to kill a tree to use a pencil.

Even with a mechanical pencil you have to mine the coal and lead.  Raping the earth.

Answer 3

If the pen writes in green ink, and the pencil is just a normal graphite #3 lead pencil, the of course the pen would be more green.  However, if the pencil wrote in green, and the pen had an ink color anything other than green, then obviously it would be more green using the pencil.  But if both the pen had green ink and pencil wrote in green, then you would have to write with both to determine which was MORE green.  And then, do you mean MORE light green, more lime, more dark green, more olive green?  

Can you tell i am really bored today?

Answer 4

depends on the color lead or ink

Answer 5

I think pencils are more green. Not mechanical pencils. They make eco-friendly pencils at office supply stores. They are made from wood so they are 100% biodegradable, unlike pens which are plastic and stick around a long time. Pencils are not as synthetic. They are basically all natural in some cases.
