Recycled Journal
Another option for a green journal comes from our friends over at The Groovy Mind. This one is handmade from the Nepalese Lokta Bush. The paper, which is durable and archival, gives a sustainable form of income to the Nelpalese and is environmentally responsible as well. The journal comes in a box with organic, Fair Trade, shade grown coffee and an organic, Fair Trade, chocolate bar. Start your year of right!$42.00 at The Groovy Mind
