There are several companies using other plant fibers instead of trees to make greeting cards.One such fiber is KENAF,originally from Africa but easily grown in the US.Tree-Free Greetings of Keene,New Hampshire is one such company-they make some of the most beautiful cards and envelopes I have ever seen.They are priced the same as,if not cheaper than cards that trees were destroyed to make.It is way too wasteful and counter-productive to make cards from trees only to throw them away.I will not buy a greeting card unless it is either tree-free or made of recycled paper.This is a simple way to support a healthier and more beautiful environment.
