Before I begin this post, I just want to say THANK-YOU to all the people in my life. It amazes me sometimes how inspiring some person you see day-in-&-day out can be. Just when you think you know everything there is to know about that person, SNAP, out of the blue they turn from a co-worker to a muse. Thank you.
That being said, this posts’ credit is due to two co-workers at my “day job,” one of whom is a stronghold on our pioneering “Green Committee” and whom I am eternally grateful to work with so closely. We were informed today that a greeting card round-up will take place all the way through the first full week of the new year…
“What kind of rodeo round-up is that?” you may ask your Self.
Your answer would be, “Self, the purpose of this collection is to gather old greeting cards that have been sent as holiday cheer to those around the world & provide them to the St. Jude’s Ranch.”
“What would St. Jude’s Ranch want with them?”
“Oh, thank you for asking. The children of St. Jude’s Ranch remove the backs of the old cards, add new recycled paper in its place & sell the cards for new holiday cheer around the globe. The profits then are given to the children who made the cards to teach them about “going green” and as payment for their work. (For those of you who do not know, St. Jude’s is a haven for neglected and abused children)”
“I received about 700 Christmas cards from people who forgot to read the article on GTB.com “Shipping Goes Green,” I am so happy there is a way to reuse all that paper & spread more joy! How do I go about this recycle-card program at St. Jude’s?”
