Title: Recycling Christmas Cards
Post by: cambourne7 on December 30, 2007, 23:00:07
Hi Guys,

Taking your cards to any mainland WHSmith store, TESCO supermarket (including selected Express stores), TK Maxx stores and M&S from 2-31 January . These are recycled and money is raised to plant more trees.

I also make some into gift tags - I use pinking shears (copied this from my late Mum) to get a nice edge to chosen cut outs, and do same as Sue - rest will go to one of the stores - my local radio station www.bbc.co.uk/berkshire were talking and promoting it & the Woodland Trust this morning :)

Another way to help the Woodland trust is to recycle your old books at www.greenmetropolis.com. :)
