and sustainable practices.
Exclusive use of high content post consumer waste recycled paper in our products and office
From our entire business operations we recycle all paper, paperboard, cardboard, glass, metal, plastic, cd's and dispose of only one ten gallon size container of trash each month
We use hybrid vehicles in the operation of our company
Your True Nature reuses all boxes and packing materials received in our offices and warehouse. We ship outgoing orders to customers with eco-labels encouraging further reuse or recycling of the packaging.
We offer a selection of carbon positive products. These gifts bring more benefit to the earth than the resources they use. TreeGreetings! A beautiful ecard is sent. A tree is planted. No paper is used in the entire purchase, accounting and distribution of this unique product.
Many of our products have links to encourage our customers to learn more and become involved. For example our Advice from the night sky bookmarks, posters and frameable art cards have a link to dark skies protection information and educational sites.

Trees are a precious gift. For each 217 lbs of recycled paper we use, we plant 10 new tree seedlings through the award winning organization Trees, Water and People. Over 60,000 trees have been replanted at
100% Replanted. If each of us does our part to sustain our forests, our collective efforts can make a difference. Learn more about this innovative program and how you or your business can use the online calculator to replace all paper you use.
