If all the paper shredders in the world were hand operated like this Eco-Friendly Hand Crank Paper Shredder, it’d save enough electricity to power every building on all seven continents until the year 2096. That statement may or may not be true, but why take any chances?
Froobi.com has the aforementioned shredder for just $8.99 plus $5 shipping. It’s capable of chopping standard A4 sheets for paper into 3mm strips and will likely bring back fond memories of sharpening your pencils in grade school.
