I never expected to sell pencils. The brand I've built has grown into a $1.7 million sustainability business.

Businessinsider.com

SproutWorld grew from a student project into a global pencil brand after Stausholm licensed the rights in Denmark and later Europe.
The business pivoted from schools to corporate clients, with Ikea as an early major client before branding was aligned.
Brand integrity guided decisions, including turning down Ikea branding initially to protect SproutWorld's future.
Today SproutWorld reports high global reach with over 85 million pencils sold and about $1.7 million in annual profit.
The pencil serves as a sustainability symbol, aiming to persuade broader behavioral changes beyond a single product.
Stausholm credits the MIT students for the original invention and maintains ongoing contact as the brand grows.
SproutWorld’s core strategy blends sustainability with market demand, balancing natural materials and commercial scale.
The firm’s revenue mix remains about 80% commercial customers and 20% direct-to-consumer sales.
SproutWorld passed on a branding constraint with Ikea to protect the SproutWorld identity before later collaborating with them.
Couple of months after the Ikea encounter, SproutWorld secured work with a high-profile New York agency and Michelle Obama.
The brand’s mission centers on inspiring global change through sustainable, everyday products.

New Data Shows When Activity Stops Protecting Health - Environment+Energy Leader

Environmentenergyleader.com

A global analysis finds exercise remains protective, but benefits shrink when PM2.5 is high, with attenuated mortality reductions.
PM2.5 above 25 μg/m³ reduces the protective effect of activity on mortality across populations.
Global exposure estimates show nearly half the world lives above 25 μg/m³ PM2.5, limiting exercise benefits.
The study covers diverse cohorts and shows the pattern is environmental, not demographic, crossing age and sex groups.
Authors describe a nonlinear exposure–response curve, with stability at lower pollution but a steep drop after 25 μg/m³.
Pollution triggers inflammation and oxidative stress that can offset exercise benefits on heart and immune health.
With higher pollution, cancer mortality benefits from activity may disappear in some ranges.
The study highlights air-quality improvements as key to maximizing the health value of everyday exercise.
About 46% of people live in areas above 25 μg/m³ and 36% above 35 μg/m³ PM2.5 globally.
The research combined a systematic review, meta-analysis, and individual-level data across multiple cohorts.

Denmark scraps letters: Postal service will stop delivering mail

Dailymail.co.uk

Denmark will end all national letter delivery at the end of December, marking a major shift in postal services.
Post boxes will be removed from public spaces and put on display in museums as part of the change.
From now on, only parcel deliveries will continue, as the operator pivots toward parcel logistics.
Stamps bought in 2024 or this year can be refunded for a limited period in 2026.
The shift mirrors a global trend of shrinking mail volumes and financial pressure on postal services.
Private providers may handle any remaining mail needs as the market opens post-change.
PostNord Denmark's leadership cited the plan as a move toward long-term viability in parcel logistics.
The decision followed a drop of more than 90 percent in letter volumes since the century's start.
The country will refund stamps bought in 2024 or this year for a limited period in 2026.
Denmark's move is part of adapting to online retail growth and the need for faster parcel delivery.
