It's a bird, it's a plant, it's...Grow-a-note!

"Oh, bother. I need to send a greeting to a friend or family member. But I hate to send yet another bit of paper to be tossed into the rubbish. What's an environmentally-conscious housefrau to do?"

How about Shannon Lowry's Round Robin Press notecards. Each card's 100% recycled paper is embedded with wildflower seeds, so the recipient of your kindness can pop your greeting into the ground and get some blossoms.

And if they do throw it in the trash, at least the landfill will have some flowers sprouting amongst the diapers and spent print cartridges.
