According to research from the U.K.’s Exeter University, mailing a single greeting card emits about 140 grams of carbon dioxide and equivalent gases. This includes shipping emissions and paper production emissions. With digital wedding invitations, you don’t have to worry about waste. Because your card is completely virtual, you aren’t using paper; therefore, you’re not using up natural resources. Plus, you eliminate shipping costs and emissions. Many greeting cards- wedding invitations, included - are hard to recycle due to the mix of materials. Anything with decorative additions (like glitter, foil, ribbon, gloss lamination) can’t go in your recycling bin; they contaminate the recycling stream and get in the way of the recycling process. These materials make these cards destined for the landfill, which creates even more greenhouse gas emissions that can be challenging to offset.
