I visited this vendor at the recent Green Festival in Seattle and would like to share it with you. This company makes paper products out of elephant dung! How environmentally friendly is that???? And elephant friendly too. :thumbs:

Check this out....

now if we only had more elepahants, and they didn't eat trees:eek:

How much energy does it take to ship elephant crap from Sri Lanka?

Geez, this board isn't about being environmentally friendly or not being environmentally friendly, it's about a new way to make paper as opposed to cutting down trees. I put it in the "humor" section because it's different and kind of funny. It isn't about the environment, even tho I did say it was 'environmentally friendly' so please pardon me.

BUT - these are orphaned elephants living on an elephant farm and they are fed by humans so they don't eat any trees.

AND - I'm not 100% sure, but they probably don't ship elephant crap to the US, they make the paper before shipping. Even so, how much did it cost to ship your coffee you had this morning from Colombia, or the how much did it cost to ship your fruits or veggies from Mexico (etc.) or the toxic plastic toys from China?

Wow, maybe this board IS about what's environmentally friendly afterall.

Toilet paper? Good grief, did I enter the Twilight Zone or sumthin?

The paper they make is stationery paper, like note pads and such.

Toilet paper, she says. I just don't understand how this subject keeps getting hi-jacked into sumthin it aint.


On the other hand, I dint read the whole websites o maybe they DO make toilet paper out of elephant dung.

Naaaaaaah. Can't be.
