Mother's Day

Mother's Day is another occasion when people are willing to pay exorbitant prices for a bouquet of flowers that wilt in a couple of days. According BBC News, by buying flowers, you could be suppotring practices such as excessive use of pesticides, child labour and discrimination.

Luckily, we have an alternative-- Elephant Poo Paper Roses. Yes, these roses are made from real elephant poo. These flowers will keep your living room looking fresh for as long as you like and you would be supporting conservation efforts of endangered elephants, too.



One may wonder how poo is turned into paper flowers. Elephant poo, which is full of grained fibrous materials from their diet, is collected and dried. Next, the poo is rinsed, leaving only the fibrous material. The fibers are then cleaned and reinforced with natural fibers from banana trees and pineapples. The mixture is then spread thinly and set to dry. The dried product is your final result!
