By using recycled paper and invasive species such as water hyacinth and papyrus from the wetlands around Lake Victoria in Kenya  local artisans are creating fantastic handmade environmentally Friendly Greeting Cards .

These unique cards are decorated with recycled wire from old fridge compressors, air conditioners, and  car alternators

 This initiative is not only earth friendly its people friendly. It is helping to clean and protect the environment by recycling, by using invasive plants and it  is enabling the crafts people to earn a decent and fair wage in the process.
