A need for jobs, a lack of affordable educational resources and an abundance of waste paper hardly appear to have a common remedy. However, the Treehuggers conducted a survey and thus found the common thread to tackling these issues: onesided, recycled paper notebooks.
What we do: (Objectives)
Capitalizing on the abundance of waste paper
, the team creates a system to collect used paper from shops, offices, schools and colleges to ensure this material would be recycled and transformed into its second purpose. Then hearing impaired women, recovering drug addicts and victims of trafficking who struggle to find steady jobs in the community were employed to bind the paper and turn these loose sheets into lowcost, ecofriendly notebooks
. This new product is marketed at minimal cost to college students as well as underprivileged school children. In one effort, the team found a way to reuse waste, provide affordable educational resources to poor students and empower marginalized members of their community.
