You might think that the impact of your holiday cards and gift wrap are pretty minimal in the scope of things. But consider this: annual sales of greeting cards exceed $7 billion -- with a B, according to the Greeting Card Association.
That may be a lot of good wishes, but it's also a lot of trees. You can send electronic greetings, of course, but to keep your eco-awareness burnished through the holiday season using paper, consider cards and wrap that are made from recycled paper and that can be returned to the recycle bin.
Look for the attractive traditional designs from Paporganics, the snappy gift wraps from Fish Lip, and the appealing gift cards from Loose Petals.
