Dear Supporter
 Here are some facts to astonish you. If you laid end to end
all the cards that have been collected through the Woodland
Trust's Christmas Card Recycling Scheme they would reach
from London to New York City ten times over. In the last
eight years, we have recycled nearly 300 million cards. Last
year alone, we collected enough cards to prevent over 1,000
tonnes of waste going to landfill.
I think the beauty of the Scheme is how it works on so many
levels. Not only does it promote the fact that recycling
paper saves trees but it has also led cabinet ministers and major celebrities to speak out in
support of the Woodland Trust.
Find out here how and where you can take part in this
year's Scheme at TESCO and WHSmith.
Of course, we can do even more for the environment by
reducing the amount of paper we use in the first place.
Easier said than done maybe. But have you thought about
signing up to
BT paper free billing? It's really simple to do and for
every person that converts, BT will provide a sapling for the
Woodland Trust to plant.
Forward this to a friend (using the button on the left) and we
can see even more benefit. Keeping you informed via an
e-newsletter is in itself a brilliant way for a charity to
cut costs and ultimately save trees by reducing paper.
This will be our last e-newsletter before Christmas. Thank you so
much for all your support this year. Here's wishing you a
really merry festive season and a very happy 2006!
Sue Holden
Chief executive, The Woodland Trust
P.S. A big thank you to everyone who took action over the
proposed Weymouth Relief Road. There were over 1,000
objections received by the Council to the scheme which is
great news. Find out more about the
relief road and its impact.
