Eco-Friendly Holidays Part 2: Correspondence Goes Green with Eco-Friendly Holiday Cards and Stationery

In ‘Eco-Friendly Holidays Part 1,’ we talked about how beautiful gifts can be when wrapped in recycled paper, ribbons and bows. In this post, we’ll discuss how all of your holiday correspondence can help reduce waste. There’s nothing like opening up the mailbox and finding a letter or holiday card from a loved one. Bright, festive cards and stationery that contain well-wishes and hopes for holiday cheer can really make your day. As you’re sending out your holiday cards and letters this year, you can feel extra great about it with 100% recycled cards and stationery. Recycled Holiday Cards and Stationery: Don’t Compromise Style When you use eco-friendly Christmas cards or stationery, you don’t have to compromise your elegance or style. They come in an array of vivid prints and colors that will put a smile on your loved one’s faces. RedStamp.com is one company providing recycled Christmas cards and stationery to eco-conscious individuals. “At RedStamp.com, we believe in stylish, graceful living through personal correspondence,” says co-owner and founder of RedStamp.com, Erin Newkirk. “We strive to give endless options to those who are unwilling to compromise the art of paper communication, yet want to remain respectful to the world around them.” Well said, Erin! It’s nice to know that the elegant and beautiful paper connoisseurs of the world can satisfy their desires for gorgeous holiday cards and stationery – and be respectful of our planet at the same time. With an entire line of eco-friendly paper products along with dozens of designers who focus on green items, RedStamp.com has an array of choices for holiday Christmas cards and stationery. How You Can Make a Difference by Choosing Eco-Friendly Holiday Paper Products You may not think that using recycled Christmas cards and stationery will make much of a difference for our Earth…and you’d be wrong. As individuals become more aware of the waste that is generated in just paper products over the holidays, more of them begin making eco-friendly choices. Over the holidays, the waste generated is around 25% more than normal. If everyone in the US sent just one Christmas card this year that was 100% recycled, 50,000 cubic yards of paper would be saved! As you’re thinking of your loved ones this year, shopping for gifts and trimming the Christmas tree, consider the Earth and how much good you could do by sending eco-friendly holiday cards and stationery. Lindsay DiLorenzo, a representative of RedStamp.com puts it nicely – “We believe paper is the currency of communication. And we also believe that it is of utmost importance to be conscious of what paper we are using - as it reflects not just our own personal style, but our commitment to eco-friendly responsibility.”
