whiteboard and markers

Brief Analysis of the Product

• The whiteboard is made of plastic and metal and the markers are made of plastic and felt tips with different color ink
• I use the mini whiteboard to make to-do lists to keep myself organized and I keep it on my desk to always remind me what I need to do
• The whiteboard is magnetic and so are the pens so everything stays in one place making everything super organized

Key Features that Promote Sustainability

• The whiteboard can be erased and used over and over to write lists and make notes, therefore paper is not being used
• I am now buying pencil lead because I am not writing with a pencil and paper (the whiteboard markers last a reasonable amount of time)
• Keeping a to-do list on my desk keeps me organized and reduces stress

Features that Reduce Sustainability

• The markers don't dry out for quite awhile but when they do, I have to buy new ones
• When I buy new markers I throw away the old ones, which are made of plastic and end up in the landfill
• As more people want to buy more markers, fossil fuel is used to manufacture those products which increases carbon emission, ultimately contributing to climate change
