I received an email today from New Leaf Paper that included news of its partnership with Office Depot on a line of notebooks for sale in their stores. I checked on Office Depot’s website and see four products, which range from a $2.39 composition book (30% post-consumer recycled content) to a cute-covered $5.99 college ruled notebook (100% post-consumer content).
I’m partial to the Recycled Fashion Notebook. The “fashion” designation cracks me up, since it must have been given that title because it comes in… wait for it… four different colors. I’m a fan of simplicity, so these notebooks are appealing to me. Their post-consumer recycled content is 40%, so I could do better by buying one of the company’s 100% post-consumer content notebooks. But at $3.29, my favorite ones are a good buy, and they’re much better than the typical notebooks sold elsewhere.
The email also mentioned some of New Leaf’s products being sold for a limited time at Target in honor of Earth Day, but a search of Target’s site gave me no results. You may have to go into Target to find the products, and I’m not sure whether or not all Target stores are carrying them. Still, it’s worth a shot, especially since it reaffirms to these large chain stores that their customers care about the environment. Plus, you get cute notebooks. It’s a win/win.

Thanks for clearing that up, I was only able to find them at Office Depot, and they are $2.99 for the composition book, and $5.99 for the notebook. I saw them at Target at the prices you said, but couldn’t figure out why Target no longer had them. I like them, but that’s too much.
