These journals mix both post consumer recycled content and agricultural waste from bananas, coffee, lemons and mangos, to help reduce pollution from the agricultural industry.

Another great paper company is Mr. Ellie Pooh (yup, spelled like my name), which makes paper out of elephant dung. This might sound strange, but it totally works, makes awesome paper, and is great for the environment.

Rainforest Facts:
According to Rainforest Action Network, more than an acre-and-a-half is lost every second of every day (refer to the entries below to see, quantitatively, what that translates into). That’s an area more than twice the size of Florida that goes up in smoke every year! "If present rates of destruction continue, half our remaining rainforests will be gone by the year 2025, and by 2060 there will be no rainforests remaining."
