Dear friends, here are some GREEN ideas  from Postcrossing. Read and take the things into consideration.

So how can you help to make Postcrossing a greener hobby? Here are a few tips from the forum:

1.     Choose postcards made with recycled paper or postcards made with fibre that comes from sustainable forests. For instance, FSC certified postcards.

2.     Reuse/Recycle envelopes (it can be fun!)

3.     Use envelopes/writing pads made of 100% unbleached recycled paper.

4.     Walk, or ride your bike to take your mail to the Post Office.

5.     Write your postcards during daylight, or outside in the fresh air, and save on energy.

6.     When soaking off your stamps do them all at the same time and reuse the water as much as possible.

7.     Use refillable pens/highlighters etc.

8.     Print on both sides of the paper or reuse old study courses etc. to print things for personal use.

9.     When wrapping things, reuse gift paper. Be creative! You can use old maps, newspapers, pages from magazines etc.

10.            Get your electricity from a company that provides it from sustainable energy sources such as wind farms, solar energy, hydro energy, etc.

11.            Support an environmental organisation such as Climate care, WWF, Greenpeace etc.
