Okay, I’m not the greenest person out there, but I do what I can. Except I have one dirty secret. Paper. I absolutely love it. There is something intriguing about paper and the design possibilities.  Besides owning books about paper/ graphic design, I have a small collection accruing full of notebooks, cards, paper scraps and promotional pieces. My newest acquisitions are Nantaka Joy Natural series notebooks and cards, which I’m still drooling over. And don’t even get me started on my shopping bag collection (ahh versatile paper!), which I reorganized and thankfully streamlined over winter break. Shopping bags are inspiring because of the bold statement a brand can make on a simple canvas.

Maybe one day I’ll donate my collection to a museum like Cooper-Hewitt.  It’ll probably be titled, “Paper Riots: The secret love of an environmentalist”.
