I was just looking at all of the cards that I received this year for Christmas. This is the largest collection of cards I have received in quite a few years. The kids even received a few cards of their own. I was just starting to gather up my cards for recycling when I received this idea from Summer.
For all those Christmas cards you’ll be recycling in the bin in a few days consider a different alternative. Turn your card fronts into St. Jude’s Ranch for Children. You simply take your Christmas cards and cut the card front from the back. Mail 5” x 7” or smaller card fronts, free of 
writing on the back, to St. Jude’s so they can recycle the cards as new for next year’s Christmas as a charity sold card. St. Jude’s can’t accept cards by Hallmark, Disney or American Greeting. To keep green all year long, keep St. Jude’s in mind as they take Birthday cards, Thank You cards, Easter cards, and All Occasion greeting cards.
You can mail your donations to:
St. Jude’s Ranch for Children
Recycled Card Program
100 St. Jude’s Street
Boulder City, NV 89005
877-977-SJRC (7572)
Sounds like a great idea. Who knew you could donate greeting cards, donate Christmas Lights, or donate Snowflakes?
Thank you Summer for helping us make a difference in our environment and give to charity at the same time!! I love being green!
