The Bite:
Wouldn't you just love to know. Write down your own innermost thoughts in a good lookin' and sustainable journal - but don't hide it under your mattress, 'cuz that's the first place snoopers look.
What are a Biter's deepest, darkest secrets?

The Benefits:
- More trees. Americans already use more than 90 mil tons of paper products per year, so go with recycled versions made from materials other than virgin wood.
- Pretty papers. Journals made from alternative (and sustainable) fibers like kenaf and lokta bark are just plain better lookin' than your average spiral notebook.
- Getting stuff off your chest. Journals are a whole lot cheaper than visits to the shrink.
Personally Speaking:
Wanna Try:
- Scribe's Delight Saddle Leather Journals - customizable journals made from recycled saddle leather ($39-$79).
- Lama Li Travel Journal - handmade in Nepal from renewable lokta bark; in five colors ($22).
- Boku Books - journals and notebooks made from recycled paper and kenaf fiber ($9-$20).
- Papergeist - choose from tons of vintage cover designs; made with wire-bound, post-consumer recycled paper ($16).
- Lart Cognac Berliner Book - a combo journal with room for sketching, list-making, and even origami; printed on recycled paper using veg inks ($12).
Cocktail Fact
Fake diaries of Hitler (including implausible sentences such as "I have violent flatulence") sold for about $4 mil to a German collector in 1981.
Bang For The Bite
If 10,000 Biters opt for a 100% recycled journal rather than a nonrecycled one, we'll avert the weight of 73 writing desks in virgin paper.
