Rather than buy new envelopes in plastic packaging, invest in a set of envelope reuse labels. These are simply slapped on existing envelopes, to reuse them. They are particularly good for business, as it looks more professional than just scribbling over old addresses.
You can buy envelope reuse labels that promote great causes, and use profits to help hedgehog rescue and humane research.
