Hahahhahaa, this is hilarious, yes we need to reduce plastics, especially disposable plastics, but you can't just hand someone a paper tube and call it a replacement straw

The plastic savings is in the overall design. The structural integrity is primarily from the paper tube combined with the plastic core. On its own that pen will bend easily in the hand as it writes. Relative to a standard Bic Round Stic, this design uses "less plastic".

Personally i prefer using a bone quill and the blood of my enemies.

Wouldn't the most ecologically friendly pen just be one that isn't disposable? Like a metal fountain pen?
