Notebooks that help trees, kids, monkeys, pandas, and probably teachers
It's hard not to want to incorporate EcoJot products into your back to school shopping, which is why they nearly always end up in our back to school shopping guides. Their notebooks are 100% recycled, the designs are adorable, and they donate money to various causes and to kids in need around the world. In fact, if they were named for a St. EcoJot, I wouldn't be surprised at all.

Now, the Canadian company have a whole new line that I think kids will really flip for.


EcoJot's brand spanking new Jane Goodall Institute notebooks were specifically created to help support the famous primatologist's work to preserve endangered species. Find a panda, crane, chimp and rhino--three of which will be big hits to little Kung Fu Panda fans. (Or is that just my kid?)

I'd imagine four adorable designs will get kids so excited to crack open those notebooks, they just may be motivated enough to learn to spell primatologist. -Liz

Find ecojot journals online from shops like Paper Posey, Stubby Pencil Studio, Olive & Myrtle and the new Jane Goodall journals online at Jenni Bick.

And as part of the Buy 1 Give 1 campaign - know that any  jumbo journal, 5x7 journal, or sketchbook you buy, one workbook will be delivered to children in need through three excellent, reputable organizations.


Congratulations to Theresa K, lucky winner of the five Ecojot notebooks!
