The use of pens are almost unavoidable in today’s society. You use them at school, work, meetings, to sign autographs… You know, just the important things. When you start using a new pen, it feels like you will never run out of ink. However, eventually the ink will run out and you will have to get a new pen. Unfortunately new pens typically cost more than we expect, but I have an EGOlogical tip that will not only cut on the costs of new ink, it will reduce the amount of plastic you consume!
The answer: buy pens that can fit refillable ink. The initial cost may be a little more than a disposable pen, but I promise the cost is worth it. Ink refills are fairly cheap and they don’t have the unnecessary extra plastic casing around it that you already haveso there is less plastic being produced and consumed. They also reduce the amount of pollution produced from packaging and transportation costs. If you already own a pen that supports ink refills, great! Just buy the ink refills that are supported by that pen the next time you go to the store. If you don’t have one, consider investing in a pen that can support ink refills. Now some may argue buying a new pen is promoting excess plastic consumption, however in the long run you will be saving money and plastic from the landfills because you putting time and money into an investment for your future pen usage.
