Hadley Paper Goods (eco-cards to help RSPB)
Hadley Paper Goods has teamed up with the RSPB to sell delightful eco-friendly cards depicting various feathered friends, with 10% of profits going to the national’s charity to help our feathered friends.
These lovely cards feature a fact on the back, to help recipients learn about bird life. Each card is sold in an envelope made from a mix of recycled paper and citrus peels (that would otherwise go to landfill).

Puffin Chicks are mostly found in Northumberland, raised in shallow burrows by their parents, until they fledge at night, to live mostly on the sea. The recent ban on fishing for sandeels (those silvery fish you see in puffin beaks) is helping to restore populations.
Arctic Terns are tiny birds that migrate from the Arctic and Antarctic, to arrive in Northumberland, to nest on coastal beaches around April. Keep away, as they will dive-bomb intruders and have sharp bills!
They live on small fish and krill (so don’t buy supplements from stores, as all marine creatures need this important food source).
Lapwings are wading birds with acrobatic flying displays, and again will dive-bomb predators. These birds are now endangered due to lack of wetlands, also in Ireland (where they are the national bird).
Other Ways to Help RSPB
RSPB Teemill Store offers print-on-demand organic cotton t-shirts and sweatshirts (plus goods like reusable water bottles and shopping totes), all with lovely bird-friendly prints for men, women and children.
Everything is made with green energy and sent in zero-waste packaging, and you can send items back at end of use, for recycling. Again, profits from each sale helps RSPB. Ideal to stash up on basics, or make nice eco-friendly gifts.
Set RSPB as your chosen charity at easyfundraising. Then any time you shop at participating stores or services, a portion of profits is donated to them, at no cost to you. This does not affect loyalty points.
