Sheep Poo Paper is made from, err, well, ah,...sheep sh*t.

From the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/north_west/5315904.stm


Gardeners know it is ideal for making compost but now a company in Snowdonia has won an award for being even more innovative with sheep droppings.

Creative Paper Wales has produced greetings cards and gifts made from the by-products of its woolly neighbours. Its Sheep Poo Paper products have won a £20,000 Millennium Award for "social entrepreneurship".

After the sheep droppings are collected, they are sterilised, washed and mixed with other recycled paper. This is then turned into the finished paper and cardboard while the washing water is distributed to local growers as concentrated fertiliser.

This recycling thing is clearly getting out of hand.

I can think of a couple of Welshmen on this board who are going to be pleased to read that.

and Dingo... he's always raving on about his fondness for sheeps. He'll be over the moon.!

something about "worth the paper its written on" ...

[John B]

Yes, imagine producing a novel on that sort of paper.That would be a manurescript.

[Todd Bradshaw]

I hope they don't make paper cups and plates.....

I dunno, The whole idea of Little Bo Peep following a paper trail....
Where's the poetry in that?

[Ian Marchuk]

Manurescript , eh ? Priceless . Well said Mr. B.

[Robbie]

You will have to send Dingo a ream or two :-)

[John B]

There's an idea. What do you think he'd prefer.. romney or merino?and only a ream or two?.. what about a whole pallet load. A pallet load of pellet paper.

[Hwyl]

I think Gareth ahh.. um... mentioned Snowdonia the other day...

I was not wearing my foolscap either.

Somebody's going to get reamed over this.

I wish most entrepeneurs luck and I'll include these guys
