MY GREEN BLOG

Ever thought about how much energy is used going to the store, buying the cards, then driving to the post office to send them, then in their delivery??? A LOT!!!

130 million people visit the post office during the holidays and 3.4 BILLION letters are mailed, that’s a lot of driving and delivering and a ton of wasted emissions.

Well thanks to the USPS… you can do it all from your desk at home. This year they have unrolled a CardStore for creating holiday wishes to be mailed directly to your friends and family. The following are just a few of the eco-friendly ways the USPS is making this process:

- Cards are made to order so no waste

- Easily edit your card or envelope online so no wasted mistakes

- The store is powered by Ink2, a Forest Stewardship Council-Certified company that uses sustainable wood sources.

- Ink2 uses nonhazardous materials

- Emission reduction by not having to drive to buy the cards or the post office to send

- And most importantly the TIME SAVINGS!!!!!

You can customize from over 1000 choices and personalize your greetings as well. You can visit the CardStore HERE.

Don’t forget to recycle the cards you receive once the holidays are over.

Till next time,
