Twisted Limb Paperworks http://www.twistedlimbpaper.com
I found this company and learned about their Tikkun Olam Service Award program and had to share. They will be choosing a Bar/Bat Mitzvah student this summer (August 2009) that offers the most creative and most impactful solutions to an environmental or social problem in their community or the world. The winner will receive some cool gifts and some publicity about their project.
Twisted Limb Paperworks creates sustainable colorful handmade 100% recycled paper using old colored office paper and grocery bags, recycled water, and inclusions of flowers, wildflower seeds, grass from our field and ferns from our woods. Their natural eco-friendly papers and stationery are perfectly designed for a celebration that is gentle on the earth.Visit their website to learn more.
