Did you know that for every ton of paper that is recycled, we save 17 tress, 380 gallons of oil, 4,000 kilowatt hours of electricity, 7,000 gallons of water, and 60 pounds of air pollution from being released into the environment? It's a lot right? They key is finding invitations that have been crafted from post-consumer waste (PCW) paper as opposed to regular recycled paper which is made from leftover paper from the processing plant (most of which would have been re-pulped anyway).
The good news is that the number of vendors offering recycled paper invitations is growing every day. If you want to do the assembly at home, Twisted Limb Paper has a number of styles (see example in top right photo). Naturally Ever After offers paper with 30% PCW, and Green Field Paper Company has some beautiful designs (see top left photo).
