Susann and Nicholas Milbourn has planted a tree in honor of Our soon–to–be son, Emerson James

Little Emerson, the Earth is terribly important to take care of. It provides not only a home for you, Mom and Dad, but hundreds of billions of animals and plants too! We’re dedicating this tree to you, with the hope that both of you— the tree and your little self— will grow to flourish and better this world. May your roots always be strong, your reach high. Much love to you and our Mother Nature, Mom and Dad

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!
