According to the US Greeting Card Association, Americans exchange 7 billion greeting cards every year. If all of those cards were tree-free, it would save 2.25 MILLION trees and 1 million BTUs of energy - enough to power an average American home for 11,000 years! It would also reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 196 million lbs.- like taking 3,000 cars off the road- and eliminate 105 million lbs of solid wast-the equivalent of 3.6 million large trash bags in landfills.
