Cereal: it's a staple in American breakfasts, but we never thought about putting a staple in it - until now. There's nothing more appropriate than arriving to a networking breakfast with business cards printed on cereal boxes. Now that's what we call reuse!

We first learned of this idea from green LA girl, who showed us how she made her own business cards before heading off to partake in some green drinks.

The instructions are simple. 1) Finish cereal. (Yum!) 2) Cut box. 3) Print. 4) Cut into cards. It's not only a great way to reuse the grey board before it is recycled, but it will really make an impact on the people you meet. You won't need to worry about anyone forgetting you!

Not sure your printer can handle the thicker paper or don't want to do-it-yourself? There is actually a company that will make them for you made from Cheerios, Fruit Loops and Wheaties boxes: United States Business Card Company (via Great Green Goods).

Rebecca says: Of the two kinds of cereal in my house, (Kellogg's) Raisin Bran and (Post) Honey Bunches of Oats, only the latter would work for this project. The raisin bran prints promotions on the inside of their boxes, rendering them useless for cereal box business cards.
