Eco-Friendly & Green Living Blog

Introducing a chic, eco-friendly gift that really does keep on giving: Ecojot’s trendy, eco-friendly and socially responsible notebooks. Launched this year, Ecojot’s Buy One, We Give One campaign advocates children’s literacy in developing countries by donating one notebook for every one purchased. They’re distributed directly to schools and students via three foundations –
Ve’ahavta, Free the Children, and the Stephen Leacock Foundation for Children.

The notebooks themselves? Entirely eco-friendly! The funky notebooks, colourfully designed by artist Carolyn Gavin, are made from 100% post-consumer waste, using vegetable-based inks and glues and biodegradable packaging. They’re also made in Canada, and at a biogas-fuelled mill.

Price: $17 (6″x9″ Jumbo Journal, 150 pages); $10 (5″x7″ journal, 80 pages); $5 (3″x4″ notebook, 50 pages).

Available at: Grassroots, Midoco, Write Impressions, The Papery and more; visit www.ecojot.com for a full list of retailers across Canada.
