Made with Real Poo!
That’s right, we now carry greeting cards, stationary sets, and notebooks made from real poo! The dung comes from elephants, pandas, and cows. It is gathered and rinsed, leaving the fibrous materials from the grasses, bamboo, and fruits that the animal has eaten. Afterwards, the fibers are boiled and color is added. Natural fibers from banana trees and pineapples are added to thicken the mix, and then it’s pressed into sheets of paper. What a fun way to recycle! (And no, it does not smell.) $3.75+ |

Earth Creations Children’s Clothing
Keep your little ones feeling natural in Earth Creations tees and snappies. All Earth Creations infant and youth clothing is made in the USA from sustainably-grown fibers, like hemp, bamboo, and organic cotton. And it’s dyed using eco-friendly dye made from clay rather than conventional dying practices, which produce toxic by-products. Plus, with every washing, the clothing will become softer and more comfy. What else could you ask for? $14.99+ |
