Help with reducing your footprint

Our main purpose is to encourage one and all to reduce the effect that we have on the environment. Most of us aren’t prepared to change our lifestyle dramatically and give up all the technology and luxuries that humans have developed and that’s not what we ask. There are so many ways to ameliorate what we do to the planet….every little helps!

 - Reduce waste 

We try to source products that are minimally packaged. Some of our cards are packaged in compostable packaging. We don’t insist that you to take it away in a bag!

 - Use eco-friendly alternatives

We know that people like to buy gifts and cards for their friends and family, so we look for eco-friendly items that are good alternatives at a reasonable price. If you know of items that are not available on the site then please let us know and we’ll try and stock them.

Worldwide transport of goods has a huge effect on the environment….buying products made locally or at least in the UK dramatically reduces this effect. We are a local shop providing our community with an excellent range of cards and gifts….to save them travelling huge distances. Most of our customers are locals, but if you are coming past our way then feel free to drop in.

 - Recycle and reuse

We look for gifts made from recycled materials as well as making our own cards from old cards donated by our customers. If you have cards you’d like to donate then please bring them in. We use the good bits and put the rest in the green bin. New - We now sell eco-friendly party bunting.....made by us from commercial waste....colourful banners for all occasions. We can even make them to order. Coming soon - a new range of party bags, gift bags and shoulder bags/purses made from unwanted textiles. New - stationery made from old maps. For all our eco-freindly products see www.reduceyourfootprint.co.uk
