10 Eco-Friendly Holiday Card Ideas

Holiday cards have been a staple part of the gift-giving season. In essence, they’re a way to express your appreciation for the loved ones in your life. Maybe this year you can even do without a holiday card, and express your appreciation in a totally unique way, custom fit for your relationship. You might want to make some edible gifts or upcycled crafts. But if you love holiday cards and are giving out lots of them this year, consider choosing ones that are more earth-friendly than cards printed on brand-new, chemically treated paper. Or, since Christmas is right around the corner, online e-cards don’t use any trees and are super quick to make and send. Here’s a list of 10 great sources of eco-friendly holiday cards.
