Colourful Large Elephant Dung Notebook - Natural

Colourful and quirky, our elephant dung notebooks are the ideal sustainable gift for the passionate writer in your life. Handmade from real elephant dung mixed with recycled paper, our notebooks are not just colourful and unique, they are super sustainable too. They help make a difference to the communities that produce them. Our elephant dung notebooks are made by Eco Maximus. Eco Maximus' aim, through the Maximus conservation trust, is to educate the local communities about living in harmony with the Sri Lankan elephant. Each notebook is filled with approximately 60 pages of unlined, multi-coloured elephant dung paper. Only natural dyes are used and the paper is acid-free. Dimensions: Large -15 x 21cm Available in 5 colours. Please see our other listings. Made from: 75% elephant dung and 25% recycled paper. The products in our elephant dung range are made by skilled and creative artisans using elephant dung paper from the Maximus Elephant Conservation Trust. The ultimate in recycling, elephant dung is collected and boiled to sterilise it before the paper-making process. As unique as the animal that helped to produce it, each piece of paper is different depending on the diet of the elephant. Improving the outlook for the majestic elephants of Sri Lanka, Maximus has its workshop in the grounds of the Millennium Elephant Foundation (MEF), a wonderful small charity that cares for sick, old, and disabled elephants. Working with initiatives like Maximus, the foundation is able to show the positive relationship local economies can have with these amazing animals, and work towards resolving the conflict between the elephants and the local communities as they turn to eating farmers’ crops as their natural habitat is destroyed. By making a purchase, you are helping to continue the fantastic work of our producers.
