Always a creative soul and surrounded by creative family, Butch was inspired one day after running across a library book sale while taking his sons to the library. "Discarded Books.....That's not right!", he thought. After doing some research and seeing what was possible, Forrest Concepts Recycled Journals was born.  Perfect for sketching or journaling each journal is hand fabricated from discarded or otherwise recycled books and filled with 30% post consumer recycled paper.  By keeping books from landfills, were doing our part to lessen society's carbon footprint and usher in the green economy.  All unused pages are carefully recycled.  Thank you for buying local!
