"These items are all created from elephant dung, the ultimate in recycling! The dung is collected from shrines in Rajasthan, India, where the animals are used for transportation. Once retrieved, the plant fibers are removed from the dung and turned into paper. Basically, the elephants are used as the vegetation processors. What is leftover is given to local farmers as natural fertilizer. The graphics are developed by Mahima, a designer and handmade paper expert in Delhi, who came across the idea to develop elephant poo paper after a visit to a shrine in Jaipur. She returns 4% of proceeds to the Elephant Welfare Project in Jaipur, a mobile veterinary service endorsed by the Humane Society."
