I’m the kind of person who wants to be environmentally concious, but loves to save a buck.
These two values have come into conflict on more than one occassion. It can be expensive to choose eco friendly products, and the easiest way for me to help the environment is usually to just consume (and buy) less whenever possible.
And so it was with extreme hesitation that I began the search for recylced business cards – that is, business cards made with recycled paper, not someone else’s business card that they’re no longer using because they got fired or something.
I’m going to a BlogHer conference in Chicago this summer and I want to take business cards with me. Apparently people show up to these networking events and expect you to have more than a cocktail napkin with your email addresss hastily scribbled on the back of it. If at all possible, I’d like to hand out business cards that are printed on recycled paper – because I’m pretty sure that most of them will be used to hastily scribble someone else’s email address on the back of them and it would be nice if they were at least doing it without killing a bunch of trees.
However, I will be paying for these cards myself so cost is a major factor.
