This article is definitely directed toward the crafty, creative, or perhaps budding entrepreneur. If stamping is your thing, here are some environmentally friendly ink pads you should consider trying out for your hobby or business. 

The focus of this article is ecofriendly ink pads, but if you want more information on environmentally friendly ink, check out this article.

Unfortunately, I could not find any truly eco-friendly ink pads in my research. Biodegradable and sustainable were not used when describing the following ink pads. Non-toxic was as close as I could find, so I hope that suffices.
