EcoShift event in Winnipeg

On Sunday, September 26, EcoShift, a community-wide initiative brought together by the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg, will be taking place in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The event focuses on expanding knowledge about sustainability and shifting perceptions about everyday lifestyles. It's all about how to live better and greener!

We are honoured to be a sponsor of the event. All the tickets, invitations, and giveaway items were provided by Botanical PaperWorks and printed on our plantable seed paper. Check out the designs EcoShift put together for the event:

 

Tickets to the event are still available. There will be a number of eco vendors and keynote speaker Dr. David Suzuki will have a prepared lecture. For more information about EcoShift, visit the event website.

All the best,

Summer Scene

With summer coming to a close (at least in this hemisphere!) it's nice to take a minute and reflect about all the wonderful things that happened over the warmer months. While many of our staff enjoyed vacations, BBQ staff days, and travel adventures, we were also hard at work all summer long preparing a whole slew of new products. And Botanical PaperWorks was featured in a few places as well.

We were happy to be featured as the very first blog post for Eco Design, a new blog by our design enthusiast friend from Montreal, Tracey Mackenzie. Tracey's first post features our 2011 eco calendar on plantable seed paper.

On Homemakers.com, Jessica Ross and her Eco Logic column picked up the plantable thank you card set from Botanical PaperWorks as a feature in an August editorial. And anyone who posted a comment was entered to win $20 worth of plantable seed paper products from us! The contest is now closed, but we'll keep you informed of other upcoming contests.

And last but not least, we're tickled pink to have our plantable seed paper wedding favors featured in the August edition of MontrealHOME. 

All the best,
