Attention: Deal-seekers and eco-friendly consumers!! Today, Tuesday, October 27th marks the last day of our fall business card sale. Act fast to enjoy our crazy-low prices. But for all our friends who don’t get a chance to capitalize on our blowout sale - have no fear. We enjoyed our sale so much that we decided to permanently reduce our prices! Starting at just $5.95, you can have fun designing your eco friendly business cards! And don’t worry; unlike some of our competitors, there are NO additional charges and definitely no hidden fees. It’s nice to buy things at their actual, advertised price sometimes, huh?
What’s so fabulous about our new reduced prices? Not only are our prices among the lowest, but our products are eco friendly, meaning you can spend the same amount of green to go green! Eco friendly shouldn’t mean more expensive, and we do all that we can to be your eco friendly printer at affordable prices.
Our standard stock is 30% PCW, with a coated, gloss finish. For an even more sustainable business card, upgrade to our 100% PCW paper, with a matte finish. Printed on our digital presses with chemical-free toner, either stock option is still a great way to print green. And if you’re looking to go super-eco, request a quote for larger quantities printed offset using soy-based inks.
So if you’ve got some business cards ready to print, or if you’re in the market for a new design, check out our business card templates and create your cards today before the sale ends.

I’m a Mac girl, always have been - always will be. From the first Macintosh desktop that I had in my room in elementary school, to the Mac Classic that I learned to type on, there has been no shortage of Apple influence in my life. So as a die-hard Mac follower and an eco-friendly printer, I was sad to hear that Apple’s environmental awareness was rather lacking in the past few years while competitors like Dell and HP came out ahead of the curve.
Apple has been criticized by groups like Greenpeace for advertising green practices when, in actuality, they weren’t as eco-conscious as they claimed. Citing the lack of disposal options for customers with outdated Apple products and chemicals used in the manufacturing of their products, Apple was called upon to do more than just talk the talk. After touting their line of MacBooks as the most environmentally friendly laptop family in the industry, Apple is now doing more than just advertising their supposed green initiative.
Enter: Apple and the Environment, a new page on Apple.com aimed at breaking down the environmental impact of Apple’s products, from design and production through their product life cycle. Not only does the site breakdown where exactly Apple’s greenhouse gas emissions come from, it also explains the steps they have taken in the past few years to reduce their impact. For one, the size of their products has decreased. They have also taken measures to rid their products of harmful chemicals that they were once criticized for, even taking it a step further to rid their products of bromine and chlorine, an industry first.
So thank you, Apple. I knew I loved you for a reason.

Now that I’m a city resident, my means of transportation have changed. My car isn’t always readily available, and while Boston is a small city, it’s not always possible to walk. So after a month of paying way too much for cabs, taking the T in the wrong direction (what the heck does inbound/outbound mean?), and being late to work after sweating it out on a 2 ½ mile trek along the waterfront, I decided to finally take my own advice and get a bike.
During a trip to Amsterdam this summer, I really fell in love with biking. From the Van Gogh Museum and Rembrandt Square to the Heineken Brewery and Anne Frank’s House, there is so much to see in this amazing city. Amsterdam’s public transportation is enviable, but the true way to experience the city is by bike. Plus, there was something about seeing a businessman in a suit riding a bike to work that made me really want to hop on and pedal around. So after renting a bike for the day and seeing the entire city, I decided I was going to bring the biking spirit back home with me.
Not only do I enjoy biking now, but I’ve realized that biking is a great way to go green. Bikes don’t use gas, so the only thing you’re burning are calories. They are also much smaller than cars and take up less space, which is a great thing in crowded urban settings. It’s a really leisurely way to see the sights without contributing to city pollution with car traffic or the structured schedule of a tour bus. Plus, who doesn’t remember when they first learned to ride without training wheels? A day on a bike will bring you back, and what’s more fun than that?
Biking around Boston? Mayor Menino is a supporter. As an avid biker, the mayor supports local business initiatives aimed at promoting biking for customers and employees alike. Click here for a link to the 2009 Bike Friendly Award Winners for the annual Boston Green Awards.
