A gift card has always been a savvy present: It’s good to give someone when you’re not exactly sure what to buy them. Unfortunately, many gift cards contain toxic plastics that are extremely harmful for the environment. Because of the presence of this plastic, these cards don’t decompose and clog up landfills and the Earth alike.

We’re not giving you an excuse to be a jerk; now there’s a way for you to purchase gift cards without polluting the environment. This article points out that there are now biodegradable gift cards that use corn-based materials which allow gift cards to decompose faster. And you don’t have to go out of your way to get them; most are available at major department stores.
