Hallmark, a gift card icon has taken the lead and decided to go green with part of its gift card product line. Now, this is quite extraordinary that a real staple and an American icon business has decided to take the lead and go green in hopes that everyone around them would follow. The neat thing is that in these green trendy cards are falling in line just in time for the holiday season. Without further ado let me explain what's going on.

Hallmarks new gift cards are made with 50% sugarcane by-product and 50% post consumer paper content.  As you will be able to see from their website they have an array of design styles and messages that you can choose from.  Their holiday theme is dazzling and you will know that with every card purchased no trees were harmed in the process.  It's an exciting time in the world of green; it's an exciting time for businesses to go green. With the evolution of green becoming so much more prevalent in American society today going Green has never been so trendy.

Think about it, a business such as Hallmark whose idea was to turn a gift card or a get well card into an emotion of its own. Now to have decided to take on a green revolution with their new green cards. What does this say for the future of old cards?  Old existing Hallmark cards, which have for decades been a silent killer of several trees throughout our nation. In my opinion old cards should be obsolete; they should now be replaced with 100% recyclable cards. These new cards have just as nice of a fill as their predecessor and without a second glance you'd be fooled to think that they have come from a living tree.

Entering an extraordinary time of change, we are in an evolving environment, an environment that is asking for our help. It can take as little as buying a 100% recycled environmental friendly holiday cards this year to show and to prove that you are thinking and acting on change.  It's as simple as saying I will, I do and I am. Something as small as this has a huge impact on our environment, and to tell you with all honesty, your message will not be silenced. Let’s do the environment a favor this year, make a difference in how and what you buy. Make the conscious decision to take part in this extraordinary opportunity of change.
