Personal Note on Eco Friendly Stationery (Part 1)
How can I make a difference and why? I don’t know was my initial response. I thought you might want me to volunteer for another one of your political schemes. Then I quickly realized we were talking about stationery, eco friendly stationery so I tried to stray as far away from politics as I possibly could. I kept repeating, “eco, eco, eco” as if I was waiting for an answer. I think I needed some justification on how Neenah Papers FSC certified paper products would save the world, at least the trees. They help reduce carbon emissions, promote use of alternative fibers and manage and promote responsible use of the forests we have left. It’s all there on Giftsin24‘s site. They mention Neenah manufactures the paper for their products and a whole lot more.
Eco friendly used to mean something neat, and compact, something that didn’t offend anyone’s sensibilities, something safe that you just bought and stood by with all of the other clean air and clean environment supporters. Now it means so many things to so many more everyone wants to find their own way or several ways of supporting a just cause. Buying eco friendly stationery from GiftsIn24 is only one of them. Giftsin24 offers eco friendly stationery in the form of cards, notepads, and gift enclosures. They’re all made from 100% recyclable paper, utilizing alternative fibers like cotton, bamboo, and sugar cane. They are manufactured without chlorine or other chemicals that are partly responsible for the deterioration of the ozone. They are manufactured with green renewable energy. They are the perfect choice for an environmentally conscious generation, our generation. Find the perfect style of eco friendly personal stationery today, get it while it’s hot at Giftsin24.

I saw another blog comment here at Giftsin24 — an inquiry about eco-friendly napkins. I’m guessing these would be made from 100% recycled fibers, too ? Does Giftins24 plan to offer these in the future ? I think there might be a market for such a product –personalized, of course …

Neenah Papers seems like an eco efficient company. I am glad to hear a stationery company like Giftsin24 is teaming up with a company that does take great pride with taking care of the environment. More people need to get on board with purchasing eco friendly stationery so that we can keep the earth safe for many more years to come. Peace…Love…Recycle!

I heard a debate on the radio a few days ago about how closely cities should monitor recycling house-by-house, in order to get a higher amount of households recycling. This is a big issue in many cities, because it is expensive to pay for so much trash hauling, while recycling diverts that trash into more positive uses. Be careful what you say to people — it is a hot issue … right-to-privacy versus environmental issues.

Thanks, Jessica and Caroline for the comments. From what I know of, Giftsin24 is looking into some very exciting new products that will be featured in next year’s catalog. And I do know that Neenah Papers has so much invested into their research and development. I am sure Giftsin24 will be the first to be included into their eco-friendly products.

It’s heartening that the paper industry has evolved into a positive force that is aggressively purusing new kinds of recycled papers, especially the 100% recycled papers that Giftsin24 sells.

The paper industry has been working on this for a LONG time … since the ’60′s. Although it is commonly repeated that making paper destroys trees … people forget that paper companies have been planting huge forests of new trees for many decades, and have planted more trees than have been harvested.

The paper industry has worked very hard on environment issues and has succeeded admirably.

I’m interested in this subject. Up till now, I thought the paper companies were the problem … I see in the above comments that they (the paper companies) are providing the solutions …

Be sure to buy only 100% recyled paper when you are buying personalized notepads or stationery. The lesser % of recycled paper indicates a lack of commitment on the part of the paper mill or stationery manufacturer. And if there is no % indicated, and the title is just “recycled paper”, that’s a scam and suggests a very low content of recycled paper, possibly as low as 5% or 10% recycled fibers.

I agree that retailers who only describe their recycled personalized stationery items as “recycled” are misleading the customers. The only REAL recycled paper is 100% recycled paper like Giftsin24 sells here at this site.

Insist on 100% recycled personalized cards. Yes, it’s very misleading for the other companies to say they are selling “recycled” papers without giving the percentage of recycled content in their labels or literature.

Recycled paper must be 100% recycled or it probably has a very low level of recycled fibers in it … Yes, the old “recycled content” phrase is meant to mislead… Only “100% recycled” paper is the real recycled paper.
