The Bite:
Of course you do. So opt for recycled cards with Biter flair when sending love, sympathy, best wishes on the fourth engagement, or congrats on the new nose.

The Benefits:
- Saving trees. A tiny percentage of the 2.65 billion cards bought in the United States each year are made from sustainable paper; send greeting-card makers a message with your purchase.
- Sweet (not saccharine) messages. Spare your loved ones from schmaltzy poems.
- Connecting with friends and fam. Of course email is more eco, but cards are a shpeshial way to keep in touch.
Personally Speaking:
The editorial team spent an hour reading all 40 Sappycards. Our maniacal laughter made the people next door wonder what type of eco-happy pills we'd gotten into.
Wanna Try:
- Sappycards - hilarious cards printed with veggie inks on 100% post-consumer waste paper ($10/6).
- Loop Doodlespark Notecards - moms and daughters collabo'ed to create naturalistic drawings on paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council ($17/8).
- Pop-Up Mountain Cards - handmade, fair-trade pop-up cards from Nepal ($17/6).
- Yee-Haw Industries Sideshow Cards - letter-pressed cards with circus-inspired illustrations ($16/6).
- Letterfu - print your own cards, then fold and send them without envelopes, cutting, or glue.
Cocktail Fact
90% of people who receive an unexpected greeting card respond immediately, either by telephoning the sender or by sending a card or letter in return.
Bang For The Bite
When an e-card won't do the trick, sustainable stationery says you care about the receiver and the planet they live in.

Just wanted to say great job with the blog, today is my first visit here and I’ve enjoyed reading your posts so far

Good work, thanks! My sister received the Mbt shoes I bought her for her birthday, she adores them. I was a little worried the calf would be tight around her legs but it hasn’t been a problem. I’ll be back before Christmas.
Everything dynamic and very positively!

Only One word to characterize such a great post “WOW” that was a very interesting read Adidas
