Why DSMAC
Our like-minded group got together after realising there was no real alternative to the waste of greeting cards. So we built DontSendMeACard!
We've taken the idea forward with charities and developed it extensively in the past few years.

140g of Carbon Saved Per Card
From the outset the project has been geared towards reducing the paper waste from cards. With that in mind we spoke to University of Exeter who produced a carbon study for us, with the result being that it costs 140g of CO2e (Carbon Equivalent) to post each greeting card.
More recently this calculation has been added to a carbon tracking feature in user accounts so you can see how much carbon you have saved in total over time.
