In common American slang, 'rubber' is used as a synonym for a condom. Should that be mentioned here? Possibly with a link to condom. T-bonham (talk) 18:55, 4 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
If this article was about a prophylactic then sure, but prophylactically adding that phrase serves no purpose. The rubber link redirects to the appropriate non–American term.--☾Loriendrew☽☏(ring-ring)01:28, 5 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Should the environmental effects of producing and using erasers, especially the types made of plastics be mentioned? The crumbs of micro plastic from used erasers can easily be spread to the local environment... 2A05:F6C2:5FF:0:F5FA:7539:F2DF:318E (talk) 07:27, 9 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
If reliable sourcing can be shown to support a claim that eraser crumbs are a significant source of microplastics persisting in the environment, that could be mentioned. I suspect that erasers' contribution is orders of magnitude less than that of textiles and tires, to mention two prominent sources of this kind of pollution.
