There are also some environmentally damaging companies that use toxic printer inks. But we remind you again that there are manufacturers that use some less toxic alternatives but also they sue energy and they pollute the environment in some way.
The majority of greeting cards are saved an kept in our beloved closets or drawers. But sooner or later hey will go on garbage can. And so, again, energy is used to transport or convert the greeting cards to brand new paper.
But in the end we must be fair. How may factories that make any kind of products don't have this issues. Every thing that it's made used and disposed uses energy. So let's try to think a little. Can't we find some more environmental helpful ways to do this things? Well, you see in the greeting card case there are many solutions.
