Between 2nd January and 31st January 2009, the Woodland Trust is collecting old christmas cards for recycling, in special deposit boxes to be found in branches of Tesco, Marks & Spencer, WHSmith and TK Maxx.
If every person in the UK recycled just one christmas card with the Woodland Trust, fifteen thousand new trees could be planted. In 2008, nearly 74 million cards were collected and recycled this way.
