I don't know about wombat paper, but panda paper is expensive and very brightly colored. It's not white -- it's not for jotting down your weekly grocery list. The only real use that comes to my mind for it might be for origami. If you're going to make complex works of origami art that you plan to keep for a long time, it makes little sense to use the cheapest, most ordinary paper you can buy. Just one other thing.

Just for a souvenir, I guess. I didn't buy any, because I've already got enough touristy, uh, <i>crap</i> already. As for whether it's environmentally-friendly, I can't say. It's billed that way of course, but it would seem to me that they'd have to use a lot of energy and harsh chemicals to sanitize it in the initial phases.
