VENT FOR CHANGE
In 2014 environmental entrepreneur Evan Lewis bought an ageing run-down facility producing pencils from recycled CD cases. After 18 months of improvements, his team were able to produce an additional one million pencils a year.
During this time there was a string of devastating natural and man-made disasters affecting children worldwide, especially their education. After months of research with NGOs and charities, it was clear education was a priority the world over. But money was needed rather than pencils to rebuild schools, pay teachers and provide essential materials.
Evan decided to sell his pencils and other stationery here in the UK and from the proceeds, support education projects around the world.
Evan launched a 'Pencils with Purpose' programme aimed at education charities. Providing free pencils meant charities could spend their money on other important essentials. He also started up Share a Pencil Day, a global education awareness day for UK school children, and an Ambassador for Change programme which provides free pencils to charities and volunteers working overseas. Pencils are given out free to those who need them most.
Vent for Change's founder Evan really is one of the world's 'good' people - and he also designs very nice stationery! A long standing environmental entrepreneur, he launched Vent for Change to support children's education around the world and for every piece of stationery you buy they donate. One of our favourite brands here at Green Tulip.

A really different but fabulous scarf, bought to wear with black dress for accent colour but can be used with so many more colours. Easy to order and delivery when promised. Thank you to all at Green Tulip
Great company for their selection of eco products. Items of quality, well packaged and quick delivery.Excellent.
I bought my friend’s secret Santa gift from here and everything was perfect - the package was ordered and arrived within the stated time, the packaging was eco friendly and the products were just fantastic. I love that this company is doing something ethical, quietly and without a fuss but that it does it to the absolute best of its ability and exactly what you’d expect. Plus from looking at the website it’s a team of dedicated and fabulous women (and Lola the dog!) who are committed to what they do.
I’d definitely recommend and will be ordering again!
Item exactly as described and delivered well packed and on time as promised, thank you :)
