Ecojot Commits to Giving One for One

PR Log (Press Release) – Jan 18, 2010 – Toronto, Ontario -- Canada’s leading 100% post-consumer recycled stationery company, Ecojot is launching a new giving campaign this month. Ecojot’s “Buy One, We Give One” campaign is the company’s new business model committed to directly advocate children’s arts and literacy in developing countries. In many poor areas young students cannot afford school supplies, nor are they provided them. In an effort to equip children in need with basic school supplies, Ecojot will donate a notebook for every Ecojot journal, jumbo journal and sketchbook purchased.

Ecojot is partnering with three organizations to make this happen:

• Ve’ahavta - A non-profit Jewish humanitarian and relief committee whose mandate is to accomplish tikun olam, the betterment of the world.

• Free the Children - The world’s largest network of children helping children through education.

• The Stephen Leacock Foundation for Children - Dedicated to helping disadvantaged youth in South Africa.

Ecojot understands that the success of the campaign is dependent on ensuring that the notebooks are delivered directly to the correct recipients. Therefore Ecojot’s first shipment will be sent in a sealed container via the Ve’ahavta KinderKits Program, along with medical supplies, already destined for Zimbabwe. Kenyemba Primary and Secondary Schools will be the first recipients of Ecojot’s “Buy One, We Give One” campaign.

Mark Gavin of Ecojot says...
“This becomes a deeper purpose for our business, so we can play an active role in helping better the global village we all belong to.

Inspired by the Toms Shoes model and by Whole Foods founder, John Mackay’s new commitment to conscious capitalism, I wanted to have our business play a part. Being that we
make notebooks, it was an obvious decision to donate these to help needy children become
educated and literate.”

Ecojot is a 100% post-consumer recycled, sweatshop-free Canadian stationery company, which uses acid and chlorine free paper and board. All inks and glues are vegetable-based. The paper mill that produces its paper, is powered by biogas.
