Heather Ruzmetov has planted a tree in honor of Marolyn & Bobby Bibber

In honor of their milestone birthdays in 2015, I would like to dedicate this tree to my parents. They are wonderful, giving, loving parents, and tender grandparents to my children. I love them so much, for now and always.

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!
