When you get business greeting cards or even personalized birthday cards for that matter, do you immediately wonder about the green aspects of their production? Personally, my first thoughts are \u201cWhat a nice surprise! What thoughtful people sent me greeting cards?\u201d I usually open and close the greeting card a couple of times to repeat the pleasure of seeing its (usually) attractive face and reading its (hopefully) pleasant text. I don\u2019t usually check the back of the greeting cards for an eco-friendly symbol unless the senders add a lengthy message.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s certainly great to use recycled paper but from a personal standpoint, I tend to have more concern for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/birthday-cards\/business-birthday-cards.htm\">business birthday cards<\/a><\/strong> produced with windpower. I can \u201cgo ape\u201d on the subject of the eco-friendly production of electricity versus the diminishment of limited-supply, pollution-producing fossil fuels. I believe my passion on the subject began because I was born and raised in Buffalo, New York, where hydropower at Niagara Falls has for so long been used to provide abundant and inexpensive electricity.<\/p>\n<p>Because I grew up intrigued by the thought of harnessing the power of flowing rivers and ocean currents, I progressed quite naturally into wondering why there weren\u2019t more windmills built to harness all of that amazing power in the sky. I have been delighted in recent years to see the development of windpower in the production of electricity. When I had the unexpected occasion to drive past a stretch of modern windmills, I was struck by the graceful beauty they presented.<\/p>\n<p>All of this is leading up to tell you how proud I feel to know that my company, The Gallery Collection, is making increasing use of this automatically-replenished natural resource. The paper stock used in the majority of our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/all-occasion-cards\/all-cards.htm\">greeting cards<\/a><\/strong> is manufactured in facilities driven by windpower, and our headquarters here in New Jersey also runs on windpower. Hmm\u2026I wonder if my tiny backyard could hold a wind turbine and generator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Using windpower to produce business greeting cards adds another facet to the eco-friendly movement.
