My current favorite is a Pro-Use 0.5 Platinum. It's entirely aluminum, but despite the cheezy name it has a great feel and is solid as a rock.

There's so much of it, and so much is unnecessary. The paper backs are recyclable, sure, but how many plastic bubbles get recycled? Better to not make them in the first place, of course. Hm - I wonder if Costco, for all its encouragement of massive consumption, has been beneficial in this regard, by reducing the amount of individual packaging people buy. As a tangent, I've been seeing a lot of produce packaged ridiculously, especially by Trader Joe's. I do not need my four apples plastic-wrapped on a styrofoam pad, thank you very much. What is up with that? Packaging is a really good point. There’s so much of it, and so much is unnecessary. The paper backs are recyclable, sure, but how many plastic bubbles get recycled?

On the subject of the actually topic- yeah, I should go back to good mechanical pencils at a minimum. Why choose?
