  • Not only are recycled cards chic, but they also help save the earth by creating less paper waste.  Paper makes up about 40 percent of the solid waste in the United States, adding up to about 72 million tons annually!
  • Americans send around 2 billion holiday cards each year, so simply reducing our waste by sending an e-card can help save 15,000 trees.
