N.C.M. has planted a tree in honor of Jayce Miller

“The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.” Remember, in life, it’s not the things we do for ourselves, but what we do with thoughts of nothing but someone else that set us apart.

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!
