    PAMET

    PAMET is an inspiring project that was set up to teach people how to recycle paper. This is an important issue in Malawi, where some people are too poor to buy exercise books for their children. For USaround US$1 you can take a tour of their workshop to see how it's all done. They sell a lovely variety of cards and other paper products made from a range of different material (including elephant dung!).

    To help slow down the rate of deforestation, PAMET makes paper briquettes that are used as an alternative to charcoal and firewood.
