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.
