response to Nick's post on eco friendly products

Is it right environmentally friendly pens are more expensive than regular pens?

It does not seem like the most ethical way to go about it. Charging more because they know people will want to buy them more than regular pens seems to me like the wrong way to go about it. If that is their marketing plan then the best way for them to get away with it, would be to not make it known. If a company is making it known that they are charging more just because they can, then I do not see that giving them a good image. I would not buy from a company that would take advantage of consumers like that, even if the product is good for the environment.

When it comes to how you view a company, what is the more important factor; the benefits of their product, or the image and ethics of the company?
