I recently switched to fountain pens because of the landfill issue, but there is no denying the utility of the ballpoint, especially with the evolution of gel inks etc.
You (one of my must-read substack) publishing this today is a sign. I am in the process of starting a new community in Substack for people who like to write with pen and paper: I would love to reprint this post there next month, with all attribution and links etc. Let me know if you’d be agreeable to that!
full disclosure: I am a fountain pen person. Is it for environmental purposes or just that I love the way they write, and I love choosing ink colors? I love my pens andhow they each have a different personality. There is only one ball point pen I will use and I have multiples of that, along with refills.
By all means, repost, and send me links. I'm so interested.
Truly great post.
