Trees shed leaves of sorrow. One day, a small but determined publishing house began creating unique calendars using materials and production standards equal to the finest prints in all the land. They hoped that folks
would think twice before discarding them. Next, pages were designed with perforations, like giant postcards that detached easily, and would fit standard frames to suit any taste. Trees swayed with pride. But there was more work to do...
In 2007, that same intrepid publisher started producing its whole line of calendars using thick, FSC-certified paper and soy inks throughout. Trees shook with glee. But there was more work to do. Unsold calendars were still ending up in landfills year after year. So beginning in 2008, that ever-restless publisher started researching and contacting senior centers and nursing homes in select stores' neighborhoods, and together with those stores, starting making some donations and sharing some vintage love. At least once a year, a cool autumn breeze rustles through treetops across the country and announces that it's football season again. Some folks swear those rascally trees are doing 'the wave.'
There's still more work to do, but good changes are happening within a previously complacent and wasteful industry. Your comments and feedback have been and continue to be invaluable along this journey.

Founded in 1999 in Wilmington, Delaware, Asgard Press specializes in creating high-end books, calendars and stationery. The name "Asgard" comes from Norse mythology, and was the realm of the gods, similar to Mount Olympus in Greek mythology. It is a nod to the Scandinavian settlers who first came to Delaware in the 1630s.
