Design a business card for an environmental consultant. Business cards are usually made of paper. But using paper, even recycled, is not good for the environment. To avoid this issue, the solution was to not print any card at all, but to create a rubber stamp and then “recycle” anything that is at hand (carton paper, cigarette packs, napkins, and other wastes) into business cards. The new “business card” communicates clearly what this proffesional offers: clever new ways of recycling, saving money and protecting the environment. More than a card it’s a piece of communication.

Great! But what about the ink? Is it eco friendly too?
Anyway, I wish I’d done that :)

Won’t the large stamp be a bit, cumbersome carrying around in your pants or jacket pocket?

Very cool idea.

wow I love these! haha they’re great!

I want to tell you about a contest I did that helped me be informed about the Copenhagen Summit this December. It’s probably the best chance we have to curb climate change. Help sign the petition to pressure politicians into believing our world is worth saving. Also, vote for my ad! I would really appreciate it =)

I learned a lot about Copenhagen because of this ad contest I did. I’m asking for votes for my ad. However, I’ve also signed the petition. I believe it’s great that this contest occured. I’m much more informed and have since looked up what people feel about it as well. Brilliant way to reach the youth if you ask me.

Follow these steps to vote for me:
1. http://www.youtube.com/user/canneslions
2. Search “Billy” and click “Go”
3. VOTE Thumbs up

At the end you’ll see the link to sign the online petition too!
Spread the word!

Here’s another eco friendly business card resource to check out: http://www.moo.com.

I use them myself and consider them eco friendly because you can purchase mini-business cards that require quit a lot less paper then an a standard b card.

This is great! Excellent idea of using the rubber stamp in a new way.

and they ALL run the risk of being thrown away because of the likness of waste and rubbish so then you are there without the info anyways, when in a stressed situation its been tossed to thr “round archive” = wastebasket… for what good use is then the information ? For me – totally useless and overcooked. Looks good at first sight, but as with most do-the-world-better-gadgets, it is probably not at all any friendlier than having a proper set of cards prtnted which cannot be confused with waste…. the metal and plastics in the stamp itself DOES have their origins, including chemical and mechanical effects on the planet, including the manufacturing and transport of it both before and efter the stamp itself is created – and all those impacts are probably so may times worse than what can be “saved” by using “anything” that the entire “rescue”situation is just another brain-ghost of wannabe-do-good… sorry … no catch in realuty will follow that will help in a big way at all.

This is a awesome idea. Considering, it fully communicates what is the client’s work.
