Lord Macdonald launches Boots' Christmas card recycling scheme for the millennium Lord MacDonald, the Minister for Transport at the Department of the Environment Transport and the Regions, did his bit for the environment today when he launched the Boots Christmas card recycling scheme in Victoria Street, London. Collected cards will be recycled into products such as tissues and cardboard and funds generated will be donated to the Woodland Trust for replanting and maintenance of woodland throughout the country. Schemes such as this help the environment by stopping some of those cards becoming part of the waste mountain.
Recycling is easy.
It only takes a small effort to do our bit and individual actions really can help the environment. It encourages people to take simple everyday actions to help protect their local and global environment and reinforces and complements the environmental messages and activities of the Energy Saving Trust, Going for Green, and other partner organisations, local authorities and business. The combination of humour and top celebrities is designed to attract public attention. The Boots Christmas Card Recycling Scheme was started in 1992. Members of the public are encouraged to take their Christmas cards into their local Boots store and place them in the cardboard recycling box.
