The news, well the facts, of climate change, species extinction, pollution, over population and your indigestion are overwhelming, aren’t they.

But “overwhelmed” is giving in. While we must be concerned, and act, in our own daily lives to make things better, we must also remember what gets people through hard times: good and helpful communication with each other and Humor. Yes, a good laugh can snap you out of it, give you new courage and inspiration to do those things that make a difference.

Earth Ecards says it’s “putting People and the Planet together” and I suggest you have a go at that too by sending a free animated ecard to your friend who needs to hear from you. Or to that politician who needs to hear your message!

it is a new site offering free animated musical ecards right now but that might not last long as they become a popular destination for people-and-planet-putter-togethers,

Interestingly, Earth Ecards does not confine itself to planet Earth. They have animated some of those amazing NASA Hubble space telescope pictures to allow you to send some pretty unique Christmas and New Year cards.

Enjoy!
