We’re all looking for ways to be more environmentally friendly and reduce our carbon footprint, so if you‘re planning to send recycled charity cards, why not take it a step further and go to www.nocardsthanks.com where you can send stylish e cards to colleagues, friends and family and contribute to charities such as the MS Society Cymru and Cancer Research Wales.I came up with the idea when my daughter was born. I really appreciated all the lovely cards we received after the birth of our daughter, but I wondered how the money spent on them could have been used by the Special Care Baby Unit where she was born. As a result I came up with the idea for nocardsthanks.com.It can seem so ‘Scrooge-ish’ to say you don’t want to receive cards, but nocardsthanks.com gets around this wonderfully with a well composed email which you can send to potential well wishers and directing them to the site and stating that you’d prefer an e-card this year with the money spent on a real card going to charity.A single e-card costs £2.99, with £2.00 going to a charity of the sender’s choice. E-cards can also be bought in bulk, enabling users to send all their greetings cards in just a few mouse clicks.
