I’ve never been much of a greeting card giver. They’re usually too expensive. Three bucks for a folded piece of paper with a cheesy little drawing and greeting??!!
And what are you supposed to do with them after you read them? I’ve always struggled with that one. To keep or to toss…that is the question.
So in honor of Earth Day, here are two Earth-friendly solutions to the greeting card quandary.
The first solution is to send an eCard. I’ve recently found Viva Vogue eCards. VV is an eCard Boutique that creates animated eCards designed by women for women. Wo else understands the trials and tribulations women go through on a daily basis than a woman?These cards are innovative, hilarious and sometimes a bit naughty. VV is a website from the woman of today. And for a limited time all eCards are FREE!
If you’re looking for a truly unique and cutting edge card that will not fill up our landfills then VivaVogue.com is where you’ll find the perfect eGreeting.
If an eCard is not an option for your recipient then Hallmark and Wal-Mart have an environmentally friendly solution for you.Â
The Hallmark Connections brand greeting cards are produced on paper made from sugar cane pulp and recycled fiber. The new cards are printed on stock containing 50 % sugar cane pulp, which is a byproduct of sugar cane harvesting and 50% recycled paper.
They’re smaller than an average-sized card and the paper’s flecks indicate its made from unique materials. The envelopes are made from 100% recycled paper, and the cards are designed to be recyclable as well. Plus, no new trees were used in producing these cards.
So now you don’t have to feel bad about throwing away a birthday or holiday card because it’s 100% recyclable, plus, they sell for an amazing 97 cents!!
So next time you’re at Wal-Mart, pick up a few eco-friendly cards.
