If you're anything like me, you will be looking at your Christmas cards thinking "what am I going to do when the festive season is up?" well I have the perfect solution for you all.. recycle your cards in the new year.
All greetings cards, and wrapping paper can go in to you recycling like normal paper waste, however a number of high street stores are taking part in a recycling scheme with the one most popular is ran by M&S. Since 2008 over 50 million Christmas cards have been collected through the Woodland Trust and M&S Christmas Card Recycling Scheme, meaning that the charity - Woodland Trust - have been able to plant nearly 60,000 trees.
For every 1,000 cards collected at the Mark's and Spencers stores means that one new tree can be planted by the Woodland Trust. To find out more visit: http://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/news/latest/christmas-card-recycling-2014/
To take part in M&S Recycling Scheme head to your local M&S store between 2nd and 31st of January. and place your unwanted Christmas cards in the recycling bins provided. It is as quick and as easy as that.
Bye for now my little pumpkins
