A two-fer: a socially conscious and eco-friendly way to recycle Christmas cards
My friend Michele McPherson sent me this information after reading my post about day 4 of the 12 days of conscientious Christmas. Talk about your feel-good activity: send your old Christmas cards to St. Jude's Ranch for Children's Recycled Christmas Card program. Cards can be accepted through the end of February 2009, and should be sent to:
St. Jude's Ranch for Children
Card Recycling Program
100 St. Jude's Street
Boulder City, NV 89005
From their webiste:
"The children participate in making the new recycled cards by removing the front and attaching a new back made with recycled paper. The new card is a beautiful, 'green' card made by the children and volunteers. The benefits are two-fold: customers receive 'green' holiday cards for use and the children receive payment for their work and learn the benefits and importance of 'going green'".
And we, those who send our cards, get to feel good about being green and in helping a worthy cause. St. Jude's Ranch rescues children from abusive situations. Learn more about St. Jude's Ranch at their website.
