E-Cards
The UK has the most successful greeting card industry in the world with 2 billion cards sold each year. This requires chopping down over 500,000 trees every year. By sending an e-card, you will be helping to support bat conservation, alongside helping to save our planet.
We've teamed up with DontSendMeACard where you can support BCT by donating what it would have cost to send cards. You can then send loved ones an eco-friendly e-card for every occasion instead!
