One Small Step: E-cards for Valentines Day

by Jennifer on February 4th, 2008

Why send an e-card? Well…

  • Save paper.
  • Save the energy it takes to make a card.
  • Save money - no shelling out for cards or stamps! Many e-cards are free.
  • Make someone’s day a little brighter.

If you get your e-card from the right place you can even donate to a good cause.  Care2 has eCards with cool eco-designs and other options. Their cards are fast, easy to send, and easily customizable. Plus “For each eCard sent, Care2 makes a donation to an environmental nonprofit to save a square foot of rainforest.”

Nice. See some of their eCard options…

You can also get e-cards from:

Hallmark

Blue Mountain

123Greetings - although their site has annoying pop-ups

Kids like them too. I sent them at Christmas, and Cedar loved watching them. Don’t forget, this one small step, when added with all of our small steps, can make a huge difference to the health of the planet.

    But if you’re going to send real physical cards, don’t forget that you can use up scraps and junk mail that would otherwise end up in the landfill :-)

    True, thanks for the good point Cyndi. You can also cut up older V-day cards and re-design them into new ones.

    I just hate being told by a certain company that shall not be named that there is only one way to celebrate any holiday ;-)
