I get mine from the hospice where I volunteer, they are beautiful, and actually cheaper than most other charity cards. I I know that very little of the price goes on admin. The hospices really need all our support at this time as they are not receiving income from charity runs etc.

I always buy charity cards. At least I'm contributing to some good causes as well as keeping in touch.

Yes recycling the way to go!

You can make your own from last year's, or from recycled paper, seems a shame to deny your friends the pleasure of receiving a card and news from you, especially now.

I usually buy my cards from Oxfam which are ecologically produced. Not sure what I will do this year, will certaqinly look around for recycled cards

How do I get round not sending Christmas or other greetings cards? Im feeling sad about this as there is something special about receiving a card with a lovely verse and sentiment. I just feel with all the trees being destroyed something has to give maybe a heartfelt txt or similar with the promise to donate the money to a good cause could be a solution. Over to you
