Send a green e-card for any occasion

There are e-cards available for just about every occasion under the sun. Good news since e-cards eliminate paper use, stamps, gas needed to power mail trucks, and other manufacturing costs and resources. E-cards are no longer the deadbeat cousins of the greeting world either. Today’s e-cards are better looking, more accepted,  and some are interactive. Plus there are even e-cards made greener than a basic e-card by companies like Care 2.

Many e-cards are free while other companies offer a mix of paid (low cost) and free e-cards. The exception is with premium wedding and other celebration e-cards that usually include photos. Check the fine print at the following e-card shops.

Here are some good e-card options:

GREEN CHOICE – E-CardsThis site offers e-cards and eco information. They also support various environmental organizations by donating links, news space and a percentage of their revenue. Organizations supported include; World Wildlife Fund, Natural Resources Defense Council, Environmental Defense, Grist Magazine, The New American Dream and The Green Schools Initiative.

Hallmark e-cards – huge selection.

GREEN CHOICE – Care 2 ecardsthis is a greener choice than other e-cards because for every e-card sent, Care2 makes a donation to an environmental nonprofit to save a square foot of rainforest. All holidays and just because cards are available.
