The materials that make up an ecosystem book come from a variety of regions in the US and are purchased domestically in order to:

• limit the ecological "footprint" of shipping and handling of the raw materials
• support US manufacturers
• ensure the post-consumer recycled paper is derived from 100% post-consumer waste materials

Our providers of raw materials are either certified by accredited ecological standards groups and/or provide certification of material authenticity.
