Paper Culture Team has planted a tree in honor of Haitian People

It seemed like only yesterday that the tragic Earthquake of 2010 struck. We plant this tree in honor of the people of Haiti – to see that we haven’t forgotten and to send our little bit of strength and hope for your rebuilding.

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
