Think before…

It doesn’t hurt to think before,,, doing pretty much everything… but this one should really be a no-brainer:

The DBA Pen is the only 98% biodegradable pen in the world. It’s also the only pen to use ink composed of simple, pronounceable ingredients. Produced at a wind-powered facility in the United States, it was designed as a responsible alternative to the wasteful and often toxic pens we use almost every day. And with its straightforward design and rollerball tip, the DBA Pen looks good and writes well too.

Available starting April 1st from DBA. Support the cause!
