Pointless Products is a local company that produces customized products to help promote events and programs that are environmentally friendly. Products include pencil shields and "pointless" pencils, named for the feature that allows you to cover the tip when not in use; furthermore, the erasers on these pencils are replacable, allowing for much longer use. The company also sponsers recycling campaigns such as the Recycle-a-Pencil for Kids in Need, which basically recycles used golf pencils and donates them as school supplies to needy children. Pointless Products' goal is to "develop and distribute quality innovative products that promote safety and awareness as well as environmental conservatism."
