Paper with a Purpose

Returning the favor to our planet with every Notebook

Our Planet – Our Future.

At Retro51, we understand the power of words and actions, just like writing itself. Our popular products have always been tools for your creativity and thoughts, and a canvas is essential for expressing them. That’s why we introduced the Retro51 Notebooks.

We acknowledge our duty to give back to the environment that inspires us every day. That's why we’re thrilled to announce our tree planting initiative – Join us in a meaningful journey to make a positive impact on our planet.

Buy Notebooks, Plant Trees

It's only fitting to give back to the world that provides the materials fueling our creativity. For every notebook order, Retro51 will plant trees with the Eden: People+Planet. This initiative reflects our commitment to environmental sustainability and our dedication to creating products that not only serve your needs but also contribute to the greater good.

Get started on notebooks:

  1. Browse Our Options: Explore the high-quality notebook and browse the design/print options available.
  2. Quote & Purchase: Submit a quote request for the options that best suit your needs. With every notebook order, you’ll help plant trees (whether its a minimum order or a large quantity).
  3. Support Reforestation: Each tree is planted through Eden Reforestation Projects, in partnership with thegoodapi.com.

Why Trees Matter

The trees planted through Eden: People+Planet (formerly Eden Reforestation Projects) and thegoodapi.com support wildlife diversity, improve coastlines, provide meaningful wages to indigenous populations, and help grow Mangrove trees, which are excellent carbon sinks.

  1. Impact of Planting Mangrove Trees: Mangroves, present in over 120 countries in tropical regions, are vital coastal ecosystems. They protect against storm surges, serve as nurseries for marine life, and supply resources like building materials and firewood. As the Earth's lungs, they produce oxygen and ensure clean, breathable air.
  2. Climate Stabilizers: With the rise in greenhouse gas emissions, robust carbon sinks are more crucial than ever. Mangroves serve as natural carbon sinks, absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere and helping mitigate climate change. They globally store an astounding 20 petagrams of carbon, outpacing even some major rainforests in sequestration.
  3. Biodiversity Support: Deforestation displaces wildlife, threatening their survival. Madagascar, a conservation priority, is home to numerous unique species. Through the work of Eden Reforestation Projects, protecting Madagascar's diverse wildlife is possible by restoring their natural habitats.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the tree-planting initiative work?

Quite simply, for every notebook order submited, be it a minimum quantity or large order, trees are planted through our partnership with Eden Reforestation Projects and theGoodAPI. There is nothing additional you need to do—your purchase makes an immediate impact in helping restore forests, provide jobs, and combat climate change.

Why does Retro51 plant trees with every notebook order?

We believe that the planet has allowed us to borrow resources to create amazing notebooks, and now we would like to return the favor. By giving back to the environment and planting a tree we not only offset our environmental impact but also contribute to global reforestation efforts for a better tomorrow.

Is there an additional cost for the tree planting?

No, the cost of planting a tree is included in the purchase price of the notebook. This is our way of giving back to the planet and making sustainability a core part of our brand.

How can we be sure that a tree is being planted?

Transparency is key. Which is why we receive regular updates from our reforestation partners, including the certificates of the number of trees planted.

Can we contribute more to the tree-planting efforts?

Yes! If you would like to make additional contributions, you can consider purchasing more notebooks from Retro51 to help increase our impact or visit Eden: People+Planet's website directly to contribute directly.

If you would like to have additional trees planted without having to order more notebooks, we can do that too! Just let us know and we can ensure your final order reflects that.
