The Christmas decorations are going up, and store clerks are already donning reindeer antlers. Which means it must be the time of year when people sent out millions of holiday cards—many of which, not to sound too much like Scrooge, will end up in the garbage, along with the gift wrap and ribbons. There are loads of recycled cards on the market, and one of the coolest lines is Green Field Paper Company's 100% Junk Mail Note Set, made from that useless stuff that crams your mailbox day after day after day.
