Here’s something you won’t regret: regreet™
By Tony | posted at 3:15 pm
A Minneapolis, start-up is offering a unique twist to the “reduce, reuse, recycle” mantra.
Regreet sells a kit for $11.99 that lets you re-use those $5 greeting cards you don’t want to throw away, and don’t want to keep on the mantle forever, either. Using their kit, you can cover up greetings and signatures, add your own, and send those cards you received on your birthday on a new journey. You can even follow your cards’ journeys on Regreet’s website, www.regreet.com.
So why’s a printing company encouraging re-using a perfectly disposable printed product? Because we’re keen on green, too. Over the last ten years, Shapco has participated with our local and national printing communities in becoming stewards of the earth. One of our efforts is to make sure that only paper from renewable resources gets into the supply system that printers depend on. You might be interested in reading about this at www.fscus.com/paper.
The company’s first anniversary is in October. Send them a card.
