the mOMtras: Goodie Bag Addition: Ecojot Notebook

Made with 100% recycled paper!

I am fanatical about reusing paper. It feels wrong to throw a good piece of virgin paper into the trash without using it up completely.

That means that at work we use both sides of a sheet of paper and trim junk mail into note-sized strips to jot down quick notes. Post-It's Notes® are in my mind a huge waste, although I agree they have their place-they are way over used by the folks that haven't internalized the three R's (reduce, reuse, recycle).

At our office, I've gotten some strange looks from new hires upon learning that it's not okay to print off every email or add a post-it to document their every fanciful thought—and yes, I'm serious when I say that the life of a sheet of paper isn't over the until we have used both sides, and only then may it land in the recycle bin. It's an ongoing project and requires a big handful of 'stick-to-it' and 'don't forget' vitamins.

Ecojot has generously donated their 3"x5" notepads for inclusion in our Family Festival goodie bag.

Kids go through a lot of paper

They draw, they color, they write stories, they scribble. Do they care if they are doing it on virgin or recycled paper, I think not. I love the look of recycled paper and am suspicious of bright white…Enter Ecojot a wonderful line of journals, notebooks, sketchbooks, giftwrap and notecards made from 100% post-consumer waste. Love it!
