Arcadia Kim has planted a tree in honor of Chris Wu, CEO/ Founder of Paper Culture

Chris, This tree is for you... The designs of Paper Culture keep getting doper and more open for my creative wimps. You keep us coming back with the fresh cards, easy website, and the fact that you have all of my addresses now. (I guess you did learn something at HBS!) Best wishes to you and the family... You are excellent. – Your friend from HBS – Arcadia :)

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
