Give A Tree For Arbor Day, Or Any Other Day!

April 6th, 2008 by Jonathan
This past Christmas, my girlfriend received a card from one of her friends. This was no ordinary card though. This card was from The National Arbor Day Foundation. It is called a “Give-A-Tree” card and it’s a very green card. They are printed on recycled paper and can be recycled. The card is also printed with soy ink and as the name states the Arbor Day Foundation will plant a tree for you in a National Forest. 

As far as cards go this card is very familiar, they have a picture on the front and give you a nice little statement relating to the occasion. On the inside of the card there is another statement wrapping up the idea stated on the front and adds “In celebration of _______ a tree has been planted in a National Forest.” As I said very similar to every other card out there but, this card makes the world a better place and also makes someone happy that you remembered them. On the back of the card there is a little story to explain how this will help all of the little woodland creatures and tells the recipient how they can pass around the green love.

With Arbor Day coming up on April 25, 2008 this may be a good way to pass the word along. These cards come for every occasion, from “Birthday” to “Wedding” to “Any Occasion,” so you have every reason to look. The cards are priced at $5.95 which is a tad bit more than a normal card. I mean you can almost buy one gallon of gas for that price! For this price, you need to ask yourself a question. Do I think I can get one of my friends to buy a sapling, dig a hole, plant the sapling, and feel like they are part of something good if I just give him/her $5.95? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
