Botanical Paperworks: Eco-Friendly Greeting Card Giveaway

Botanical Paperworks

If you are like me, you think a traditional hand written note or thank you card is still the only way to go. Handwritten notes are not only traditional but I think they are a personal and elegant way to tell someone how much you care.

Send a very special and Earth friendly greeting to someone you love with Bontanical Paperworks’ plantable cards. Botanical Paperworks is a Canadian company based in Winipeg, Ontario who uses “tree-free” stationary made with 100% post consumer waste. Each card is embedded with wildflower seeds that grow once the card is planted, giving your recipient a lasting memento of your kind words.
Botanical Paperworks paper is made with pure North American wildflower seeds by skilled paper makers paid a living wage in Winnipeg, Ontario. Their products include fabulous and beautiful greeting cards, thank you notes, confetti, journals, wedding invitations, business cards, and calenders.
My favorite are plantable journals. I love, love, love them!
ONE lucky reader of Sweet Greens will win a beautiful Eco friendly set of greeting cards from Bontanical Paperworks.

 

To ENTER:

Contest ends May 1st @ 12am EST. Winners will be chosen at random and will be announced the following day.

Enjoy.

Green Holiday Giveaway #7: Andira Rain Tees T-Shirt

December 1, 2009 88

Giveaway #7 is fabulous and would make a great holiday gift for a lovely lady in your life. Andira Rain Tees is the fab organization that donates school supplies to children in the endangered rain forests across Central and South America and has these children draw what they see happening in the world around them. To share the stories of these children from around the world, Rain Tees prints their names, countries, illustrations and thoughts on 100% certified organic apparel and canvas to create Rain Tees and totes.

Andira Rain Tees only uses Eco friendly inks and dyes and their workers are paid 25% above average wages so that things like health care and education can come first in their families. The best part, for every Rain Tee that is sold, a child in “Kids Saving the Rain Forest” plants a tree to replace one that has been destroyed in their homeland. To date “Kids Saving the Rain Forest” has planted over 6,000 trees. What a lovely idea, right?
I love, love, love the Joison Tee that I received a few months ago and love to wear it. I think you would love a Rain Tee too.
Here are some of my other fave Rain Tees:
