cara barrier has planted a tree in honor of angela critz

for being THAT friend... THAT friend who was sent to my life by the Lord... to pull me through, pick up the pieces, and wipe my tears... to laugh at my jokes, cheer my successes, and stand beside me through my adventures... some things don’t just “happen” – they happen because God sends us a blessing and we are NEVER the same...

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
