Melissa R has planted a tree in honor of Sophia Li

I love it when you point to a tree and tell us, in your not–quite–two–year–old voice, “tree!” But the only trees you care to identify are the ones bearing lights. May you continue to seek the extraordinary, the sights that string colored lights around expectation. You are a star upon the highest bough. love, Mama

Why Paper Culture Plants Trees

  • We’re a paper company: moreso than most, trees are truly our business
  • We ALWAYS use 100% post-consumer recycled paper and/or alternative renewable fibers like cotton or bamboo which means our cards do not result in the cutting down of any new trees, however, that simply means that we do no harm to trees. We wanted to take it one step further by actively contributing to reforestation by planting trees.
  • Honestly, as founders, we knew we wanted to do something on a consistent basis and it was as simple as, we all just love trees!
  • Trees do amazing things - check out our list of tree facts
