The Poster Service

The Bite:
Wanna stamp out dull walls? No change of address necessary - Madison-based Print Pattern Paper delivers…sweet, modern home stuff, that is. New this month: number and alphabet kid posters printed with soy ink on 100% recycled paper. It's also got organic, hand-sewn robot pillows, and for you: totes, towels (including springy zinnia-printed tea towels), and stationary, like bird-printed thank-yous on recycled cardstock to drop in the mail.
Why Care?: 
Example: Using postconsumer recycled paper keeps trees standing - nearly half the forests harvested in North America are used to make paper.
Nostalgia's got us angling for P3's artsy A-Z poster for our own grown-up house - we're especially loving the shy little kiwi (yep, that would be for k).
Wanna Try: 
Print Pattern Paper, available at Grasshopper 510, 1944 N. Damen Ave. (773-292-0510). Alphabet Poster, $35.

Cocktail Fact

The USPS uses mule trains to carry mail down an 8-mile trail to the Havasupai Indians in AZ.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Chicago Biters buy a poster made with recycled instead of new paper, we'll keep eight trees standing.
