Goal: be eco-friendly, sustainable and save a few trees. Besides banning plastic grocery bags from your routine, there are a whole buncha other (somewhat unknown) ways and companies to help us all be MORE sustainable and eco-friendly. And make good choices. Benefit the environment when shopping or just living life, right? Whose with me?
Paperless Post
Gotta admit, getting a paper card in the mail is a little piece of heaven. But, for ALL of the holidays, thank-you’s, birthdays, celebrations and general “love ya” sentiments wouldn’t it be a better idea to send a PAPERLESS piece of mail?
- Personalize your card (text, photos, colors…even the “stamp”)
- Holiday cards (not just talking Christmas… even Halloween card options available!)
- Send immediately (Oh yeah – no more belated mumbo-jumbo for you)
- Invitations for parties (less expensive than paper and quicker to fill out)

I have gone paperless on almost everything. The only thing I have that I don’t is my electric bill and that’s because it’s through my town and they don’t offer paperless billing.
I like this idea. I can go paperless for some people, but my grandma and parents expect a real thank you letter. They’re old school like that!
We try to recycle and take our own bags to stores to be filled. Nice to see companies helping out as well
I try to be as paperless as possible. I still enjoy receiving and sending Christmas cards in the mail, but for all other occasions, paperless is the way to go for me.
I’ve gone paperless on all of our bills and try to use reusable towels. I think those tablecloths are so pretty. I didn’t realize they made these with recycled paper. What a great idea.
These are some great ideas. I think we all strive to be as eco friendly as possible but there is always a little something more we could be doing. I love the idea of upcycled home decor!
What a delightful service. I love my paper, but you are correct, this is a much nicer way to treat the Earth.
I love the idea being Eco friendly and still being able to save! I am definitely on a budget but I’m still interested in helping environment too!
Such a beautiful background and your so pretty. I can’t wait to share this post with my stepdaughter as she is the Crafty one in our family.
I love this idea. I struggle with being paperless 100%. However, I do try to loie a more eco-frendly lifestyle.
Lots of great ideas here. I try to go paperless as well but yes it’s a bit hard to go completely all out paperless because I love nice papers but we have to be more conscious of how we use them to help the environment.
Being eco-friendly is always chic and fab for me. There are tons of ways to be zero-waste without ruining your style. I am loving all the ideas on this post 💕
I love this idea. I think going paperless is great. I’ve gone paperless for many things too. I even have a lot of bills sent by email just to go paperless.
Sending paperless cards for holidays is a great idea! I think that nowadays anyone has a smartphone or pc where can receive it! Great idea!
Those cotton towels look so beautiful! I love handmade and eco-friendly products. I love paperless idea, better for our planet!
I agree with the paperless thing. When I got married, I just printed few invitations just made a facebook group to invite our family and friends. Way better that sending our printed ones. I love recycling too.
