About ecosystem

These vibrant Moleskine-like ecosystem notebooks and journals have all of the beauty and simplicity of that other brand, with the added bonus that they use 100% recycled paper! They’re clearly a smarter choice than notebooks that are made from new paper – in fact, ecosystem has already saved (as of 2009) 3,046 full-grown trees, 1,299,751 gallons of water and 283,974 pounds of greenhouse gases.

Check out their Facebook page here and follow them on Twitter!

About Naked Binder

Characterized by their “naked” natural-colored products, Naked Binder believes that long life, strength, sustainability and beauty go hand-in-hand in the fight against an ugly, cheap, disposable society. Everything they use to manufacture and ship their products is either recycled or recyclable (mostly both).

    Each day we ditch the car and walk so we can save some gas
    I bought recycled paper too for the notes we take in class

    Clean air, I like the way it feels
    So I’ll do my part and recycle
    A car’s too much, I don’t even need two wheels
    I’ll carry everything on my nifty little unicycle

    I’ve got an Ecosystem notebook and a cool Naked binder
    All tucked nicely into my awesome instinctive bag
    This way I can repay my earth and be a little kinder
    And offset the CO2 emission by that old smoking hag

    This year I tried my best to share my love about how much I love this little planet…I always try to make people understand that if the Green life dies,we’ll die too..but seems like they never understand but I won’t give up.
    I already talked with a few friends and we’re pretty excited about making some events about recycling stuff and growing plants and stuff like that. ^^ Hopefully people will come and share the love for our planet aswell.

    Hark what yonder tree there sings
    Speaks of death to forests classroom brings
    Suggestion of what recycled notebook rings
    I make note with heartfelt yearning swings

    From battlefields in construction site
    Where LEED APs with designers and builders fight
    We advocate with diplomatic might
    Return to school and expand our foresight

    Backpack, notebooks, naked binder
    My baby steps as ecologically kinder

    The science building at school where I take most of my classes is LEED certified. This means the green school supplies can be friends with the building. ^_^

    These useful and colorful supplies would be wonderful to win for my teen.
    They are fun, fabulous, and functional but best of all, your products are green!

  15. tammyvsa tammyvsa says:

    My 14 year old son Jack, attends a charter school called Rainshadow. The curriculum centers around an environmental theme, particularly regarding our beautiful Truckee River, which winds through the city. The kids are taught to revere and respect the river through programs to tend to the river and spread the word of their environmental cause. This eco-friendly school is something that WE as a family support and are so grateful to be a part of. I think considering that Jack attends this school and as a young environmentalist that it would only be appropriate that his school supplies are helping to set the tone of their mission as a community and further his support in his own mind and behavior. Not to mention how cool he would look sporting there eco conscious products…we all know the importance of the coolness factor at this tender age. Thank you for the opportunity to win these great products!!

    I love new finds! I was looking for ways to teach my daughter more about the products that can be made by recycled materials. She keeps “slipping” on her recycling duties. These are beautiful and new! Sharing link!

  23. from1mom2another from1mom2another (@frm1mom2another) says:

    We plan on using recyled paper ( and using dry erase boards when possible to prevent the waste of paper) We also use old worksheets & non important papers and cut them up to use as a note pad and recyle everything that can be recyled. We try to teach our kids how to start being more “green” so that thier grandkids can enjoy this beautiful earth!

    As our Mother Earth provides us with life,
    We show our gratitude by polluting with our rides.
    Ditch the car, drive a bike
    Make a difference even if you are just one.
    Spread the word, share the news,
    That we must do what’s right for me and you.
    Green is the way to go,
    And I will practice by three valuble words,
    Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
    School is almost back in session,
    I must get ready!
    Going to get eco-friendly supplies
    in which will not poison our gift of life.
    I will be an example to many eyes,
    I hope I make a difference even if it changes just one.

    Backpacks and binders
    what a surprise
    its every school year
    the same exercise
    but this year is new
    this year is different
    I might save a tree
    or i might save two
    I want to be helpful
    I want to be clean
    Or maybe even green
    These eco friendly Inhabitat products
    are surly the ones for me
    Let’s give a shout
    let’s lend a hand
    So mother nature can forever stand!

    So this year i want to make an effort to use less paper and maybe email my research papers rather than print them. I also want to use recycled product …thanks Inhabitat.
