Dung-ho for paper
It may seem we’re a little poop-obsessed (see Green, previous page), but The Great Elephant Poo Poo Paper Company deserves a mention. The company makes attractive, non-smelly stationery products like journals, notebooks and greeting cards from—you guessed it—elephant poo. The company works with international elephant conservation parks to gather elephant dung, which is full of undigested vegetable fibers. It’s then dried and processed into sheets of paper. A portion of the profits go to support elephant welfare and conservation programs. See for yourself at www.poopoopaper.com.
