4 things you contribute to by using an erasable notebook
Paper? That isn’t 21st century-like, is it? It is messy, it always lays crumpled up somewhere at the bottom of your handbag and after a slip of the pen the page is written off and you can start all over again. By using an erasable notebook of Correctbook you do not only easily solve these struggles. You also contribute to four other important things that help us create a better world. A win-win situation, so that is a double benefit!
Why is an erasable notebook of Correctbook just ideal?
Not only because it is so orderly. You also contribute to four other influential factors when you purchase an erasable notebook. Here they come!
1. Sustainable world
By using an erasable notebook you reduce the amount of paper waste and you contribute to a sustainable world. Research shows that Dutch people use about 80 kilos of paper every year. And you know: paper is made of trees. About 14 percent of the estimated 15 billion trees that are felled annually is used for paper. Less trees means more CO2 in the air. In addition to that: the whole process of turning a tree into paper also costs lots of water and energy.
In the Netherlands a big part of waste paper is being recycled and although that is a good thing, it also costs energy. Each sheet, each flyer, each roll of toilet paper is garbage after single use. You can use sustainable office supplies like a whiteboard notebook much longer!
2. Togetherness and fairness
If you buy an erasable notebook you immediately contribute to the togetherness and fairness that we so much encourage as staff of Correctbook. We respect one another, we like to do what is right and we find personal development very important. More important than profit, yes, really!
You do not only see that in the social projects we are involved with (read on…). We take that along in the whole process, from manufacturer to customer. Fair cooperation is paramount. The materials we use for our whiteboard notebooks come from fair parties and we are working hard to make them 100% sustainable. In the Netherlands the production is already completely CO2-neutral. Order to stimulate employment we also try to produce locally as much as possible. In Rwanda even locals work for Correctbook!
And, not unimportant: also on Correctbook HQ you find a bustling positivity and togetherness!
3. Together against illiteracy and for good education
If you buy a whiteboard notebook of Correctbook you kill two birds with one stone. You buy a Correctbook and we provide one child in a developing area with this erasable writing material for three months. This way we fight illiteracy together. In many countries there is a great shortage of school supplies, causing many children to never learn to read and write well. Due to illiteracy children also have less chances to develop themselves in the future. Correctbook believes that every child deserves good education.
That is why we regularly bring our reusable school supplies to schools that can use them well. This way almost 55.000 children have received such a notebook in which they can keep writing and learning endlessly!
4. Research and combating Covid-19
Also in our own country we like to give society a hand. The pressure on healthcare is enormous due to Covid-19 and we hope to relieve that somewhat by doing a donation. Therefore we launched a limited edition of our Correctbook, together with the Red Cross. With each Red Cross Correctbook €8,26 is being raised for the Red Cross. In total we have donated €5.000 to this organization! This way we support Municipal Health Services and hospitals, the Red Cross hotline, the collection of protective equipment and other medical supplies.
Look! You see it is not for nothing that more and more people decide to go for an erasable notebook. Secretly we dare to say a small revolution is taking place!
