Meredith has planted a tree in honor of Ben

For all the times you took me down to the river, to climb trees and stare up to the sky, wondering about our futures and wishing we could stay incased in the foliage forever. I still climb sometimes, and stare at the heavens, wishing I could talk to you one last time. See you someday, my dear friend.

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!
