Nepalese Paper

What if making paper was as harmless to a tree as making yarn is harmless to sheep? It can be. In the making of traditional Nepalese paper, the a bush called Lokta is stripped of its bark for processing into pulp, but it is left to regenerate. Harvesting the bark is actually beneficial for the long-term health of the plant. Generations have used this paper for centuries, although scholars differ on when and where it was first used.

I recently met a representative from NepalesePaper.com, and I encourage you to look into the paper products. Take a look at their products, and let me know what you think.
