Tiny But Mighty:
Pocket-size Notebooks Helping Save American Giants
There are already a lot of pocket-sized memo books out there, so why would New Leaf Paper decide to jump into an already crowded marketplace? Because we knew we could design the most environmentally-friendly memo book available. We could have stopped there, but that’s not our style. We asked ourselves, how can this product work even harder to combat deforestation and biodiversity loss? Enter...Green Notes!
Packaging, covers, and inside pages are all made from 100% post-consumer fiber that was processed chlorine free (translation: yesterday’s paper waste made into new paper vs. ending up in a landfill). They’re made in the USA, printed with vegetable inks, and 100% vegan. We make a donation to plant a new tree for every product sold through One Tree Planted so not only do we save trees when making our products, we ensure even more trees are planted!
That’s already a pretty impressive list of eco-friendly attributes, but we wanted to go further yet. Elegantly embossed leaves grace the covers of these memo books representing one of the following trees that are endangered in North America: American Chestnut, Ash, or Giant Redwood. 3% of the proceeds from these products go to the following non-profits which are working to restore these trees back to their native ranges:
The American Chestnut Foundation is working for a robust eastern forest restored to its splendor and the return the iconic American chestnut to its native range.
The Redwood Forest Foundation Inc. is working to restore local connection and control, ecosystem health and diversity, economic opportunity, and climate resilience throughout the Redwood Region.
The Great Lakes Basin Forest Health Collaborative connects efforts across federal agencies, conservation groups, researchers, and members of the public who are working together to save Ash trees. This organization is breeding and replanting pest-resistant trees that will ensure the sustainability of our forests for the future.
