Environmentally Friendly Cards

Greeting Cards > Christmas Cards > Environmentally Friendly Cards

We all benefit by exploring new ways to preserve our planet for future generations. The Gallery Collection uses a variety of ecologically sound production methods to make Christmas cards that are truly Environmentally Friendly. Both you and the recipients of your beautiful business holiday cards can verify the ecological thoughtfulness of your selection by looking at the symbols proudly displayed on the backs of many of the environmentally friendly cards we offer. In addition to paper stocks formally labeled as Recycled (meaning they are made of prescribed percentages of pre-consumer waste and post-consumer waste), we have a large number of personal and business Christmas card designs that proudly qualify for the following labeling:

Green-e is the leading independent national program for certification and verification in the use of renewable energy and for greenhouse gas emission reductions in the retail market. You can learn more about the methods and benefits of these practices at www.green-e.org.

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international non-profit organization that encourages and sets standards for environmentally responsible management of the world’s forests. The FSC helps track the chain of custody from certified well-managed forests to manufacturers of paper and wood products and to materials users, such as The Gallery Collection. Learn more about this organization at www.fsc.org.

The Paper Made from Windpower symbol lets you know that the electricity used to produce the paper stocks for our personal and business Christmas cards is created without the consumption and pollution of fossil fuels. Not only is wind an inexhaustible source of energy, it is also a source that generates electricity without polluting air, land or water. You will always feel proud of the premium quality of The Gallery Collection personal and business holiday cards you send. Now you can also feel proud of the choices you make to protect the present and future of planet Earth.
