Fairtrade Cheap Arizona , recycled and handmade elephant dung greeting cards Published: 28.06.2008 | Author: naturallysimple | Category: Gifts, Online Shopping, Product Reviews, Shopping

Naturally Simple has been looking for some great handmade cards to stock and we think we have found some of excellent quality. They are great fun Cheap Atlanta Braves Jerseys , they give employment and also help the elephants. When looking for materials to make our hand made cards, we prioritise using recycled renewable resources.


 


The card and envelopes are from 100% post consumer waste materials. The buff coloured cards are 75% post consumer waste paper and 25% elephant poo. This supports a project in Sri Lanka where a ‘habitat war’ between villagers growing crops and elephants looking for food is an ongoing tension. The decoration on the card also uses recycled materials where possible, although this is not necessarily 100% recycled.


 


The packaging we use is also sourced with recycled materials in mind and we have tried to find envelopes and boxes that protect the cards in transit, but with reasonable renewable credentials.


 


We hope you enjoy cards and they bring lasting pleasure to those you send them to Cheap Baltimore Orioles Jerseys , whilst minimising the impact on our world. A natural fibre, it is a renewable resource. The inks and decorative papers are acid free.


 


How Is Elephant Poo Cards Made?


 


Elephant dung paper is made using a process that has been used for several years. Elephant dung is collected from conservation parks or from other natural areas and the fibres from that dung are cleaned. Once they have been thoroughly cleaned, they are dyed so that producers can make many different colored elephant dung papers. After the dyeing process is complete, the fibers are mixed with natural materials so that the entire mixture gets thicker and makes it easier for the paper to be produced. Once this thickening happens Cheap Boston Red Sox Jerseys , the mixture is formed into cakes or patties and put into mesh trays so it can dry. While the cakes are drying, the trays are often put up against trees so that the sun can accelerate the drying process and make sure the fibers are as dry as possible. Once the cakes or patties have dried, sheets of elephant dung paper are pulled off the mesh trays. This is how elephant dung paper is made.

Quality of Elephant Dung Paper


 


Many people think that being made out of elephant dung makes recycled paper low in quality. This is not the truth at all. In fact, elephant dung paper is just as high in quality as paper produced with raw materials. The high levels of quality make it easier for manufacturers to turn elephant dung paper into other products.

Since millions of greeting cards are sent each year, (see our range of Elephant Dung Greeting Cards) having an environmentally responsible alternative to cards made with raw materials is a great idea. Elephant dung paper can also be used to make stationery sets that include writing paper, note cards, and envelopes. A wide variety of products are made with elephant dung paper.


 


Where does the Elephant Poo Come From?


 


The Millennium Elephant Foundation is situated on a 15 acre estate known as Samaragiri Cheap Chicago White Sox Jerseys , which has been home to the Samarasinghe family for many generations. The family has owned elephants since the 1960’s and in 1979 Mr. Samarasinghe (1939 – 1991) opened the estate to the public as the “Elephant Bath”. Currently the MEF is home to 5 cow (female) elephants. The youngest, Pooja was the first captive elephant to be bred in Sri Lanka, born in 1984. It is estimated that the MEF grounds have a total holding capacity of 10-15 female elephants; of course consideration can be given to male elephants if necessary. In an effort to increase awareness and generate the funds needed for the maintenance and care of our elephants, the MEF actively welcomes visitors and encourages one to one interaction with them.


 


At the turn of the 20th Century Cheap Cincinnati Reds Jerseys , there were more than 12,000 elephants in the jungles of Sri Lanka. Now it is estimated that there are only between 2,500 and 2,800 and 192 elephants living in domesticity. The Millennium Elephant Foundation seeks to promote and improve elephant welfare in Sri Lanka by encouraging the conservation of Sri Lanka’s threatened elephant population and compassionate elephant ownership. We hope to do this by raising awareness of the elephant’s struggle; offering medical help assistance and promoting education relating to elephant welfare Cheap Cleveland Indians Jerseys , not only in Sri Lanka but around the world.


 


The Millennium Elephant Foundation believes good welfare standards are possible for all captive elephants in Sri Lanka. Our project ‘2000 and Beyond’ aims to promote this through good health, compassionate ownership and education.
