Sending Your Love Via Email

Fact

By recycling one ton of paper, you can help save about 17 trees. But do you know what saves more trees? Not using paper at all. Next time you want to show someone you care use a computer.

Get Started

  • Schedule an electronic greeting delivery in advance for an on-time arrival.
  • Many charitable organizations have e-cards available to help celebrate while also spreading the word about their cause.  Get involved – choose your favorite charity for your next e-card.
  • Rethink tradition – Send your friends and family links to photo slideshows you’ve created or a video you’ve posted online. Wishing someone a happy birthday through video or pictures will outshine a card any day.

Become a Pro

  • Buy your friends and family subscriptions to online e-card galleries.
  • Create a “hot links” list on your blog or social media page to get the word out about your favorite online greeting options.
  • Make a “No Cards, No Way” rule for your birthday, anniversary and holidays. Start the trend to encourage others by making it known that you pass on paper.
