I know what you mean, there is such variety of pens, pencils and stationery so nowadays people buy the bunch and after the ink is used the whole pen is thrown away, what is waste. Recently when I visited my bank and needed to sign the contract, the clerk gave me a box of pens saying that they have enough of them. It is a nice gesture but what is the sense simply more plastic land on mountians of garbage.

What I often douse is refills for a ball-point pen and keep my pen. Also an ink cartlidge that can be used for a long time. Maybe this way I try to make my good for climate.
