You may be thinking, "There must be a story behind the Forest City portion of the company's name, Forest City Photo Albums (forestcityphotoalbums.com)." If you thought that, you're right. The company is headquartered in the city of Rockford, IL, which was nicknamed the Forest City almost a century ago because of all the elm trees lining many of the streets. I remember as a child riding down some of the 2-lane streets which are now 4-lane, and noting that it was like driving through a tunnel because of all the elm trees. Then, in the 1950s, Dutch Elm Disease struck the city, and all of those trees had to be cut down. It brought tears to lots of people in town at that time, as I remember.
However, before that time, we already had an extensive network of city parks, some a block in size, many much larger, which are all graciously planted with trees. So, although the original reason for the name is gone, the moniker still fits. In fact, in recent years, the Rockford Park District has been named one of the country's top park districts.
The photo albums mentioned earlier in this article come from the beach paradise island of Bali in Indonesia, and are handcrafted from jungle-renewable materials right nearby. As a result, they're organic photo albums, and in conjunction with that, eco-friendly photo albums--one of the very few companies making this type of product available on the Internet. Come check us out, and please note that when your order exceeds $75, we pay the shipping and handling for you.
What is an All-Natural Photo Album?
The way I see it, an all-natural photo album would need to be assembled without the use of assembly line parts. They would need to be used as they are found in nature. It might also be good for them to not be assembled with the use of machines.

How Individuals Can Help Combat Global Warming
For the past 10 years or more we've been hearing lots about something called Global Warming. For some, it's come to be a clarion call for all that needs to change in the way we do things here on earth, i.e., that we're responsible. Others, however, say it happened in the past, and it will happen again in the future. It's just the ebb and flow of the planet, and we as humans had nothing to do with it.
