Look at my curb on recycling day and you\u2019ll see mounds of bags filled with newspapers and other paper scraps and barrels full of empty plastic and glass bottles. Throw a soda can out in the garbage? No way. Recycling just makes sense to me. Why add something to our already overwhelming landfills when it can be taken to a recycling facility and transformed into something else?<\/p>\n<p>In addition to recycling whatever I can, I like to purchase items that are made from reclaimed materials, which are more readily available than you may think. For example, instead of buying cards produced with virgin pulp, I opt for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/christmas-cards\/environmentally-friendly-cards\/recycled-paper-cards.htm\">recycled greeting cards<\/a>. Some people think that using recycled content for paper decreases the quality, strength and aesthetic value of the paper; however, with advancements in technology and processes just the opposite is true. Recycled papers are available in a wide variety of colors and weights, and can produce a beautiful, elegant card.<\/p>\n<p>There are many ways to be environmentally conscious. Some are complicated and costly but others, like buying recycled paper cards, are easy and affordable. By sending a recycled card for your annual Christmas card mailing, you\u2019ll show your recipients that you care about the environment (and maybe in the process you\u2019ll convert some of them into being more eco-friendly!)<\/p>\n<p>And to take it a step further\u2026in addition to buying recycled cards to send to friends and family, think twice before throwing out the cards you receive\u2026 recycle those cards by using them in greeting card crafts projects. Yet another way to be friendly to the planet!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reduce, reuse, recycle\u2026.it\u2019s not just for bottles and cans!
