Business Cards

I cant tell you how much time I spent this summer trying to find a Toronto company to print good quality business cards. I had put the search on the back-burner until today, when on the FTA website, I came across this link for the 'worlds greenest business card'. The concept behind 'greening' your business card is that if you 'talk the talk' you better 'walk the walk' meaning any eco designer or communicator should be placing importance on even the smallest detail of running their business sustainably. These cards bear the symbol of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and each batch of 500 is said to save 3 trees, 875gal of water, enough BTUs to power a house for 7 days, 211lbs of carbon emissions, and 112 pounds of solid waste. Now, i haven't placed my order yet so i cant vouch personally for the quality of the cards but they've been featured by Green Living, Metro, The Globe and Mail, Direct Marketing News, and Design Edge Canada Magazine. Plus each order results in one tree being planted by Trees Ontario who remind us to "Take a deep breath...then thank a tree."

Love Forever,
Jamie
