Elephants help company go green
The winner of Co-op America’s 2008 Green Business Leader Award is poop. OK, maybe they aren’t poop, but they certainly use it.
The winner was Mr. Ellie Pooh, a New York company that sells stationary and such that’s partially made of Sri Lankan elephant poo. Of course. The products are 100 percent recycled – 25 percent recycled paper and 75 elephant poop.
The Green Business Leader Award is given to companies that encourages customers and other companies to work together to create a better world both socially and ecologically.
Green Business Program Director Denise Hamler released this statement: “We’re pleased to announce that green business peers awarded the prize this year to Mr. Ellie Pooh, which works towards resolving the elephant-human conflict in Sri Lanka to try and prevent more of the world population of Asian elephants from disappearing. This company’s green and sustainable aims and practices are truly a model for other corporations.”
