The Problem: In Sri Lanka, where agriculture is the dominant form of land use, elephants are being killed because they destroy the crops.
The Solution: Create a way to use elephants as a sustainable economic resource.

Who: Mr. Ellie Pooh's Handmade Poo ProductsWhat: Lovely notebooks, notecards, stationery sets, journals, scrapbooks, photo albums, memo pads, and craft paper all 100% recycled and 100% handmade from 75% Sri Lankan elephant dung
When: Anytime you want to send your sentiments and a statement at the same time
Where: To shop, go to the Mr. Ellie Pooh shopping page; to learn more about the human-elephant conflict, elephant orphanages, and how poop turns to paper, go to the Mr. Ellie Pooh home page; to find Pooh paper in stores across the US, Canada, or Puerto Rico, go to the locations page.
Why: Because it helps save elephants by making them an economic asset that contributes to the welfare of the Sri Lankan people. And it's just plain cool!
What else: I bought the 5x7 cardstock packs in white, kraft, and green to make "blessing cards" to send to family and friends. They were 50 cents for a pack of 5 sheets which is cheap enough to get a good assortment of colors. Because I can never find paper when I need it, I'm planning on buying one of the pooh paper boxes or a pooh pad.
What now: Go buy some! It's a perfect gift for your favorite stationery aficionado and for everyone else too! The paper's sturdy but still soft and supple, just like beautiful handmade paper is supposed to be.
