Lewis the Lion and the environmentally-friendly Indian project

Lewis the Lion was lucky enough to learn about a cotton paper-making project that was making a huge difference in the community of Orccha. Not only was it sustainable, creating many jobs for the locals, but it was a way of using up scrap material in a highly innovative way.

The factory called TARAgram gathered up any cotton rags from the surrounding area and created quality paper from them. So good is the quality of the paper that it is even used by universities for their degree certificates! Lewis the Lion was so impressed that he bought some paper notebooks for his friends back in England as well as a couple of paper lampshades in the shape of stars!

How do you recycle products in your daily life? Do you think it’s important to be environmentally friendly? Why or why not?
