Want to help increase the use recycled content paper and soy-based ink? Please purchase environmentally friendly checks.
How? Ask at your bank or buy them from a check printer. I asked at my bank and was told I was the first person to ask that question.
For years I have bought mine from the Check Gallery. They use 20% post consumer content paper - which is not great but it is much better then nothing.
Remember, every dollar is a vote!
If anyone wants to research additional sources, I will post them on the LITE web site...
