Are crayons bad for the environment?
According to the Crayola website:
"Crayola is the manufacturer of high quality creative experience products marketed primarily under the Crayola and Silly Putty brand names.
"Crayola is continually evaluating opportunities to make our products environmentally friendly. We currently take steps to address environmental health and safety issues by reducing, reusing and recycling our materials.

"They are the best crayons out there. I think they are the highest quality and because I color more rough than most it seems like I snap all other crayons. Always purchase name brand quality artist supplies and they will last longer and have better artwork."
I belive not, Laurnetienare superior in every way.
Softness of the lead= Lauentiens are so much softer than crayola.
Variety= Laurentiens have 8 more colors than crayola
lead breakage=laurentiens break less than crayola
organization= there are numbers and spots to write on laurentien unlike crayola.
the feel of wood when sharpened= the wood quality is great of lauentien. honestly the wood of crayola pencils are horrible.
Crayola's are even worse compared to amazing brand like Faber Castell, Prisma color and Derwent, but high quality comes at a high price. i belive it is something like $1.25 per pencil for prismacolors.
But for the same price range please dont buy crayola. Go buy laurentien. Crayola, just has a lot a of variety of art supplies i have to admite there construction paper is not bad. not all popular things are good.
Lauentien, please go but laurentien. Buy honestly what ever your DO NOT BUY ROSEART!
Where the word crayon came from originally?
The Crayola Company was originally named Binney & Smith after its founders, who started it in 1885. They began making products such as red pigment for barn paint and carbon black for car tires. Soon they started producing school products, and made the first dustless school chalk which was a big hit.
They noticed that there was a need among students for safe and affordable, but still quality, wax crayons, and so the first box of Crayola crayons was made. Binney's wife Alice made up the name, which came from the French words "craie" (chalk) and "oleagineaux"/"oleaginous" in English (meaning oily).
Soon they made even more art products, like paints and sharpenable fine art crayons. Over the years the company focused on art products and sold the pigment part of their company in 1955 while acquiring several other art product companies. They finally consolidated them all under the Crayola brand name in 1979.
How do you get rid of the crayon smell in an 2001 Jetta - short of having it professionally done?
They crayon smell is due to the sound deadening material they put under the carpet. From my research it was mostly the 2001 and 2002 model years...not only for Jetta's but also for New Beetles. I finally found a solution.
From my post on newbeetle.org
So I decided to get to the bottom of this crayon smell once and for all. I had already taken my drivers seat out to replace the set belt clip and figured I'd just go the extra mile. After taking the seat out I was able to slice off a little piece of the sound deadening pad that's under the carpet, and sure enough, it was the problem! Took me about an hour to take apart the center console and the passenger and back seat. Took me about 35 or 40 minutes to pull up the carpet/take out the sound barrier. If you mechanically inclined at all and have a few hours you could easily handle this job. I have the seats airing out in the garage and the windows down in the car to get rid of any lingering odor. If anyone wants more details, let me know....

Who is the inventor of the crayon?
There is no one inventor recorded for the history of the crayon. Crayons evolved from the original encaustic painting with wax done as far back as the Greeks. Later, pastels, chalk and colored pencils all contributed to a piece of the modern crayon puzzle. Conte crayons were developed in the late 1700s in Europe and served to move the pastels closer toward a wax crayon solution even though they themselves weren't actually a wax crayon. Lithographers came along and used wax based crayons for their trade. Eventually companies in Europe such as Couleurs formulated crayons in sticks but made them from toxic substances.
In the USA, Franklin Mfg Co, NY was one of the first manufacturers of crayons in 1876. They started out with industrial crayons but were one of the first to feature school crayons for children in decorative boxes in the 1880s and 1890s. Charles Bowley, out of the Boston, MA area did the same in the late 1880s and when production got too big, he partnered with American Crayon Company who put out his line of crayons in 1902. All of the major pencil manufacturers dabbled in crayons prior to 1903 as well (Eagle Pencil, Eberhard Faber, American Lead Pencil, Joseph Dixon).
Other companies got involved in making the modern was crayon or the modern pressed crayon for artist purposes. Companies like Standard Crayon Co. started around the late 1890s. Milton Bradley had crayons prior to 1900 as did Joseph Dixon and the Prang Educational Company.
Edward Binney and Harold Smith were the creator of the Crayola brand; launched in June 1903 and made toxic-free for kids. They actually produced 18 different crayon assortments with a color palate consisting of 38 different colors across their entire line right from their original beginnings. They focused initially on the Crayola line, targeted as a quality but inexpensive option for schools as well as a higher-end line called Rubens-Crayola which targeted artists. Most of their earliest assortments were phased out as the company moved from their original experimental boxes to a more consistant look with their "Gold Medal" design that they would use for over 50 years. The Gold Medal was won in 1904 during the St. Louis World's Fair and helped to create the famous No 8. box which actually debuted in early 1905. With this consistant method, Crayola was not only synonymous with the word "crayon" but consumers had a common box association with the product, something unique in the crayon industry.
While over it's 130 plus year history there have been over 300 known manufacturers of crayons, the company that Edward Binney and Harold Smith established, now named Crayola LLC, is still the world's biggest manufacturer of crayons.
