82 million Christmas cards were recycled in 2006!

Every January The Woodland Trust teams up with Tesco and WHSmith to collect and recycle millions of Christmas cards.

Just take your Christmas cards along to WHSmith high street stores and Tesco Extra and Superstores.
The cards will be recycled into newspapers, power towels and writing paper.
The money raised goes to help the Woodland Trust to plant trees and maintain our woodlands. You really can turn your cards back into trees!

Use old cards as book-marks or Christmas decorations
Make gift tags by cutting cards up, punching a hold and threading string or ribbon through
Cut the card in half, and use the side with the picture on as a postcard (check that it’s blank first!)

Cut out and use to make new cards! Cards that are hand made seem much more personal.
