These days, you can’t go more than a day or two without hearing a lot about going green (or, environmentally friendly).  It sure makes sense to go green with houses, with cars, with your family’s food, and even with cleaning supplies, but have you ever wondered if you can you go green with Christmas cards?  Sure, you can!  It’s actually rather easy to go green with Christmas cards.  To begin with, you can select cards or envelopes made with recycled paper.  That’s a fantastic way to make it a green holiday.

But once the season is over, you can still make it a green Christmas.  How?  Well, when you’re taking down your decorations, your Christmas tree, or Christmas lights, there’s one more thing you probably take down that you don’t even realize could be recycled.  That’s right:  your Christmas cards that you’ve received from faraway friends and family, that you’ve perhaps put on your mantel or in your entryway, to enjoy the entire season.  They can be recycled, just like newspapers, cardboard, magazines, or old notebooks from your college economics classes.

A lot of places you go today you’ll hear many people talk about the wisdom of recycling Christmas cards, of giving new life to the cards that would otherwise end up boxed in the attic or in a trash bin somewhere.  Personally, I like that idea very much, but only if I can still keep the cards with family photos on them.  I consider those ones to be simply too precious to recycle.
