Personally, I’m a big fan of sending environmentally friendly e-cards, but lots of people prefer to give and receive paper greeting cards. If you’re one of them and would like a way to recycle yours, then consider donating them to the St. Jude’s Ranch for Children Recycled Card Program St. Jude’s Ranch serves “abused, abandoned and neglected children and families, creating new chances, new choices and new hope in a safe, homelike environment.”
The children living at St. Jude’s help adult volunteers make beautiful, new, “green”, holiday and all-occasion greeting cards cards by removing the front and attaching a new back. The children receive payment for their work and learn the benefits and importance of “going green”. Proceeds from the sale of all cards benefit St. Jude’s.
Send your used holiday, Valentine’s Day, Birthday, Thank You cards now through February 28, 2010 to:
