Growing Your Business (With a “Green” Business Card?!)

Outside of the fact that I don’t even use business cards these days, I found this idea irresistible: a card that grows alfalfa when you get it wet.

From the always interesting Notebookism blog:

Biz card with plants?

Be a great idea for environmental firms too.

  2. Only one problem. Who keeps wet cards in their office??

  3. I saw this over on the Reaction blog from Etre.

    It’s a very novel idea and I found it interesting enough to bookmark as a possible blog post. Mike makes a great point though.

  4. Very, very cool idea. I think that people would find it tough to throw away, especially if was growing.

    Maybe it could be kept on the desk to spruce it up?

  5. It is a neat idea (I wonder how wet the card actually gets — perhaps it’s waterproof on the outside to hold moisture in).

    Still, if you wanted to make a statement with real staying power, you’d put a Coastal Redwood seedling in the thing.

    They live literally thousands of years.

  6. Schweeet! As long as we’re dipping business cards in water, how ’bout one with real mass appeal — laced with powdered bourbon.

  7. Matt,

    Powdered bourbon?

    Maybe I’m outside the masses here in Ireland, but powdered alcohol? Intriguing as it seems, I don’t really see the appeal.

    It’s an interesting thought though, from someone who shivers at the taste of whiskey. Mine’s a Guinness anyday, and a liquid one at that.

  8. I’ve never seen anything like that in my life! Not very practical, really, but what a cute idea. Thanks for sharing.

  9. How inappropriate, yet hilarious if I do say so, would it be to load up one of those babies with some hemp seed?

  10. Do you mean on the “mail your worst enemy a drug conviction” front? Actually, that has merit; imagine an ad agency locked in a fierce review for an account…

    Anyway, Megan, I’m officially shocked (shocked!) at your suggestion. Shocked (officially).
