You might have seen these stamps and postcards around… they’re part of USPS’s GO GREEN program, meant to draw attention to the little things that you can do to make a difference and have a positive impact on the environment:
Out of milk? Walk or bike to the store. Repair that drippy faucet—the noise was driving you crazy, anyway. Switch to energy-efficient light bulbs. Put on a sweater instead of turning up the thermostat. Sun dry your sheets—they’ll smell wonderful!

Each postcard has a mix seeds of wildflowers, so you can plant it and watch it grow!
On this weekend’s giveaway, we’re offering 3 packs of Go Green oversized postcards, which come with matching forever stamps. You could plant them or just send them to your friends with a green message! To win a pack, leave a comment below. We’ll pick 3 random winners by midnight next Sunday, CET time.
These postcard packs were kindly offered by 9teen87. Brenda has a very neat postcard blog that you should visit!

PS – I did plant a couple of postcards, but nothing sprouted… I blame my non-existent green thumb, and I hope you have better luck!

If I win, I'll just have to mail mine OUT of Louisiana. :)
Happy Postcrossing everyone, Vicky!
I'd love to get one of those, plant the the seeds and watch them grow.
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why
Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be
Lovely postcards!
thank you for such a possibility!
What a great idea! ^//^
I love to go green - recycled cards are my favourites!
Like this one for example:

The Old Lutheran website has postcards for sale that grow into wildflowers too :D
There is no need to count me in for the giveaway. I just wanted to comment. ;)
(Ana - please don't enter me in the contest - haha)
I hope to get one as I want to try it here in our country and start the same thing if possible. With all the global warming issues, I believe this is the best way to help and educate others to save the earth:)
I hope i am not too late :)
Please count me in...
Great ideas - the postcards & the giveaway.
Thanks, Brenda.
Thank you for the chance! ^_^
Save the environment !!!!
Go green, grow greens!
pick me.. :D
Luck to all participants! =))
Thank you, 9teen87
great idea, by the way~
But one should be careful with wildflowers: If they are not local in one's area, they may spread out and displace originally local species. :-(
i want to be in as well :)
Planting a postcard and getting little postcard-sprouts :D
I'd love some Green Postcards!
Awesome!
We're ridin' the green wave ~
That's nice)))
Maybe it would be better to plant the cards during spring time so that the plants would sprout easier :)

I teach my students a lot about recycling and the environment and I bet that when I tell them about this it will drive them crazy :)
The cards are so cool!
Hope that I'll be able to win it by chance :)
