Helping 1% for the Planet
Written, illustrated and published by The Mill, The Little Blue Planet will be distributed with every purchase of a sustainable Avocado Green Mattress. The book will also be on sale via Amazon, with 100% of the profits going towards 1% for the Planet, a global movement inspiring businesses and individuals to support environmental solutions through memberships and everyday actions.

The book has a verified net-zero carbon footprint and uses soy-based inks on 100% Post Consumer Waste (PWC) recycled paper.

The jacket is removable, revealing an educational poster that can be pinned up in classrooms or at home to educate families on ways they can encourage sustainable living, such as through composting, shopping locally and going plastic-free.
