@Tryagain,
Butt butt butt...

Pachyderm Paper


http://www.ecotopia.co.uk/product_images/Medium/BB0213%3BWarehouse%3BWarehouse.jpg

Amazing and beautiful hand crafted memo book, made from elephant dung and recycled paper - you wont believe your eyes.

Many are now convinced that the only way elephants and human beings can exist successfully in the same environment is through finding ways to use the elephant as a sustainable economic resource.

Elephant dung is an end product. It provides a way of converting a liability into an asset in conflict areas. It is also a commodity that is freely available at anytime. On average an adult elephant produces about 180-200 kg of dung per day. Until now, no one had any use for it. However, this project designed to manufacture paper from elephant dung may help change the perceptions of the farmers of the economic value of the elephant in conflict areas. The project started in 1997, has successfully produced and marketed what is known as “pachyderm paper' made out of 75% elephant dung. The dung of the elephant takes form as note-books, cards, badges, boxes and bags etc. where the only limitation is one's imagination.

Even though elephant dung cannot resolve the on going human-elephant conflict in Sri Lanka, its use for the benefit of the farmers who suffer from elephant depredations will certainly go some way towards raising the tolerance of the farmers towards the elephant.

We believe that if the elephant is used as an economic asset so that it contributes meaningfully to the welfare of people, then the people themselves will not like to see it disappear from their area.
In the final analysis, all of our conservation efforts would be futile, if we do not have the support of the local communities. The elephant dung can play an important role in the conservation of its provider.

Approx 20.5cm x 12.5cm size
75% elephant dung and 25% recycled paper


That's another way to use an elephants ass.ets.

Who knew? YKW! Razz

@Izzie,
Everyone should know that I used to work at Dictaphone. There were no elephants there.

Fancy that:

There's subway line in Boston which is "forced" by outdated union practices to employ two drivers on each train, while every other Boston line, and just about every subway line in the world, uses only one.

The Boston Globe has estimated that the second, utterly unnecessary driver costs the government $30 million every year. It's pathetic that they keep coming back and putting their hands in our pockets when they don't even have the decency to run a competent administration.

No elephants were hurt in the compiling of this hard hitting report.

How was it possible that two members should come here at the same time to within a hundredth of a second?

Proof at last that dear sweet Izzie is in fact NOT masquerading as Tryagain, and if you take the mask off Tryagain your belief in ‘Intelligent Design’ will surely never recover.

@Tryagain,
I hope Izzie is not masquerading as Tryagain. I would have to rethink every post I ever made.

Omnipotent National Institute of Health has awarded $3 million to the University of Illinois in Chicago to identify the things that cause lesbians to drink alcohol.

The five-year study, led by Tonda Hughes, professor of health systems science at The University of Illinois at Chicago College of Nursing has received a $3 million federal grant to continue research to identify risk factors for excessive drinking among lesbians.

An injunction is being sought by T.R.Yagain, who being ever mindful of runaway public spending offered to do it for a crate of bourbon and a movie camera!

Purposedly explaining how much better his own study would be, Tria Gain sought feeble compensation for such high endeavor.

However, we suspect his self-satisfaction in such topics would be overwhelming..

@Tryagain,
Rainbow clean translates into streaky mess. Now the ads that were presented
to me at the bottom of the page had to do with elephants - all three of them.
I am almost certain that the next ad will be about Viagra.

Take the confusion over identity; in the confusion of a Halloween bank heist, could you tell Which Witch Is Which?

Typical examples are very similar, bearing a close resemblance. For example, They're not even sisters, but they're like as two peas in a pod. This expression alludes to the seeds contained in a pea pod, which do indeed look very much alike.

Today I picked my first Peas. Most of them were delicious. However, there was the odd pod or two that didn’t quite taste as good as the rest; but why? The answer is I’d left them on the plant just a tad too long.

What you’re looking for is Peas that are round and green if they are long and yellow; you are shelling bananas.

For more gardening tips; check out the A2K herbaceous borders symposium.

Unbelievable election results in Germany . All political caricaturists are rubbing their hands already - Angela Merkel will go in coalition with the openly gay
Guido Westerwelle. The perfect couple, as some see it already. The first sketch
produced of the two is hilarious already.
