The Woodland Trust

Happy New Year!

I hope you're all enjoying a happy and enjoyable holiday season.

It'll soon be time to take down those christmas cards and decorations, but what will YOU do with your old cards?

The Woodland Trust is an organisation dedicated to saving our UK woodlands and ancient trees. They are again running a scheme to collect and recycle all our old Christmas cards. Last year, they collected 58 million old cards, which is equal to about 1150 tonnes of rubbish, and approximately 19000 trees saved.

This year they hope to collect 60 million cards before the campaign ends on January 31st 2006.

You can take your cards to any high street branch of W.H.Smith, or to larger branches of Tesco, which means it shouldn't be too hard to find a branch near to you whereever you live.

This isn't generally the type of thing I post on this site, but for such a worthwhile cause I thought I'd let you all know. So, help them achieve this years target, recycle those old cards and save our ancient woodlands.
