Fair to say, Tung Fuk resident Shirley Johnson has a thing about elephant poo. In her award-winning children’s book Saving The Planet With My Poo, she takes young readers on an adventure to discover how “large and majestic elephant dung can be made into odourless, organic, tree-free, biodegradable paper.”
You can’t use elephant-dung paper for digital printing (Saving The Planet With My Poo is printed on tree-free, cotton-rag paper) but, as Shirley has discovered, there are many other ways it can be utilised.
Head to her online jewellery store, A New Leaf, to see the exquisite new line of earrings made from, you guessed it, elephant-dung paper. Purchase more than one pair of Self-Love Beautiful Me Elephant-Dung Earrings at www.anewleafjewellery.com and you get the book thrown in for free.
Saving The Planet With My Poo is also available on Amazon. [
