In the haste to get our cards mailed off, Christmas and Hanukah presents bought, wrapped, and in many cases, shipped, we oftentimes either flat-out forget to buy green holiday materials for undertaking such tasks, or simply don't have the time to shop around, considering green materials are not always so readily available.

Obviously, it's a good thing to purchase green, eco-friendly gifts. But what about everything else that goes along with it, like the wrapping paper, boxes and cards? Understandably, it can be difficult acquiring these materials, for items like recycled wrapping paper and green holiday cards are not commonly found in larger retail holiday supply stores.

But the internet is an entirely different story. And in the case of premiere, green holiday cards, the internet is probably the only place where you will find the likes of a few, very unique stores. The above mentioned online destinations all carry green holiday cards, in the greenest sense of the term. For our standards here at Save With Green, that means using vegetable based inks and/or eco friendly toner, as well as 100% recycled paper.

Using Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified paper is even better - that means the paper being used to manufacture these green holiday cards comes from sustainably grown and harvested trees, and do NOT come from old growth hardwood trees, which are the Earth's guardians and soldier's in filtering Carbon Dioxide and other warming greenhouse gases.

Peaceful Valley Greetings carries a large selection of tree free cards suitable for the Holiday's or any occasion for that matter. Made from the ecologically friendly Kenaf plant (Hibiscus Cannabinus), which the USDA identifies as the best non-wood paper alternative because of its rapid growth, high yield and exceptional papermaking characteristics (chlorine and other toxic chemicals often used to make traditional paper are not required). Kenaf makes for excellent green holiday cards and eco friendly greeting cards. Peaceful Valley also carries eco friendly, green wrapping paper printed with vegetable based inks and made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper. Peaceful Valley Greetings is Co-Op America Approved and a true steward of environmental business practices. Visit Peaceful Valley Greetings
