My husband recently got an invite to participate in a group clean up day at work. That in itself is a great thing for companies to organize. However, what was even more interesting was the invite itself. It came on 100% post consumer recycled paper, and was embedded with seeds. The idea is to plant the sheet in soil, add water and wait to see the plants grow! Over 1000 invites went out. This translates as that many times 10 seeds per person. And if they were all planted, think of the amount of greenery it would generate!

With summer coming, and invites to barbecues, beach parties and camping trips going out; if you can’t do the greenest thing of all, which is to send an email, then think of using this option for your invites. Do a Google search and you’ll come up with quite a few companies that produce this kind of paper. Some, like www.flowerseedpaper.com offer custom made paper, with 2 ingredients, for $6 per sheet. They also give you over 30 different flowers, herbs and vegetable seeds to choose from. The paper itself is tree-free and made from 100% natural cotton fibre. www.greenfieldpaper.com offers you various options such as grow a note and grow a card. Select the appropriate one and you’re good to grow!
