TODAY'S TURN: Kill them with kindness

Next time you mail some bad news, you can still come out smelling like roses. Or at least like a Snap Dragon.

Plantable paper from Botanical Paperworks is embedded with wildflower seeds and made of 100% recycled material. When you're done with the paper, you simply drop it in soil, water it and wait for the color.

So you can help the paper return to its roots - literally - while getting your point across.

Don't go for the easy feel-good uses on this one. Anyone can send a wedding invitation or birth announcement on paper laced with wildflower seeds: "The future is blooming, watch our love grow, tending to our garden of joy, blah blah blah blah planting family tree blah."

It takes a rare kind of creativity and class to send hate mail in an environmentally friendly way. Stretch yourself. Exercise the dark side of your imagination and the possibilities blossom like a soggy sunflower.

Customer complaints. Nasty letters to the editor. Office rants about co-worker behavior. Community association grievances against your neighbor's deck. Dear John notes. Anytime you gotta sling some mud, do it with a flowery smile. Ahh, the sweet, sweet circle of life.

Cool alert: Look for the Yummy Cards made with herb seeds.
