Earth University

How do you like your banana paper?

In Costa Rica, there is an environmentally
friendly, educational school called "Earth
University" that focuses on agriculture,
commerce, and business modeling -
all with sustainability in mind.

When you shop at Whole Foods markets,
the bananas you buy come directly from
Earth University's program. When you
buy banana paper products, it's the result
of recycled 8.5" x 11" white office paper,
with banana plant fibers. Very cool, huh?

The program encourages discussion of
biodiversity, social consciousness, and
balanced relationships between the
commercial world, and the rural populations
that care for, and provide, our resources.
