Plantable eco calendar leaves no trace behind in 2009

This 5 x 5 calendar is about a green as you get. The tin that it’s packed in is re-usable. And each page is sprinkled with wildflower seeds. When you’re done with a month, rip out the page and plant it. Within a short period of time wildflowers will sprout from your old calendar page. Simply place the seed embedded paper into soil, add water and wait for Bird’s Eye, Clarkia, Coreopsis, Poppy, Catchfly and Snap Dragon to come to life. The handmade paper is acid and tree free, made from recycled bond paper, cotton remnants and abaca, a renewable leaf fibre.

I had an idea similar to this a long time ago. They should put a wildflower seed in cigarette butts.

I really like the idea of this calendar. And Mark, your idea would have been stellar, but I bet that the seed might have been cooked or otherwise killed during the smoking…

Maybe if the seed was at the outside of the filter and near the tip it would survive, and the saliva would provide it's first drink of water. I remember thinking about this while sitting in traffic looking at all the butts in the median. And wouldn't those pots of sand they put near building entrances as ashtrays look pretty.

Wayne, looks like this was a good find!
