Do you know where a good place to buy cards that are environmentally friendly is? Recycled... Made from hemp... Somehow helps the environment, especially ones for Christmas?

I sure wish I could help with this but I have no clue either. I send e-cards to help save on paper and recycling.

E-cards are the ideal way to go. I know I feel bad sometimes if I send an e-card though because I don't want people to think that I'm being cheap or that they aren't worth going out and spending the money.

I have received several catalogs at work, selling Christmas cards. I will do the same thing I did last year--cut out the pictures of the cards and also browse through junk mail I receive and use the pictures on regular paper. I glue them on the paper and write inside the card I've made then mail them in a small sized envelope. Those are my Christmas cards and people say they are beautiful and much appreciated, as I've actually taken the time to make them something that's original.

Hello hcromer, Here's a link to a environment-friendly greeting card company. http://www.moonshinecards.com/about_us.php I hope that helps you out. Or maybe you can make your cards more personalized by making them yourselves out of recycled paper? But the first poster has a good suggestion, start with Hallmark and I'm sure (and hope) that shops out there are now offering these cards, maybe they just hide it in a smaller section.

If you have a hallmark store in your mall that's a good place to start i would think. I know alot of people like my wife included used to save her cards for her bday, xmas, or whatever and then when she doesn't feel like keeping them anymore she would bring them to work and put them in the office recycle bin just to help out a little bit. But as for places that recycle cards i would think the big name places like hallmark would be the place to go.
