Happy 2009! Did you buy a new calendar yet? Don’t waste your money buying one that’s made out of brand new trees and treated with all kinds of stuff you can’t pronounce. At least not till you’ve seen this.
Start 2009 off on an eco-friendly foot with this calendar from Botanical Paperworks.
Not only is the calendar made from 100% post consumer paper, when you’re done with it you can plant it! All the pages contain wild flower seeds. Tear a month off, tuck it under some soil, add water, sunshine, and bam you’ve saved a tree, and planted flowers. You’re an eco-superhero.
The calendar was created by Heidi Reimer-Epp, and her mom Mary. They started a company that produces a whole line of plantable paper. They do wedding invites, thank you cards, confetti and more.
Compare that to your typical calendar, which uses paper from new trees, toxic substances for bleaching, and who knows what to give the paper gloss. The only down side we can think of about this calendar is that it has to be shipped in from Canada (fossil fuels) and that it comes packaged in a little tin. The website says the tin is reusable, but we can’t figure out what you’d use it for.
