New project of mine
Hello you wonderful people! I wanted to share a project I had in mind.
It's simply creating and giving random strangers a business card that says "You are Wonderful" as a reminder for themselves. I already have a design in my head, but wanted to hear your opinions, design ideas, and anything and everything else you have to say on this.
My life goal is to help make the world a better place and this is one small and insignificant step that will hopefully put a smile on someone's face. Thank you for your input.

That's a nice thought, but personally, I'm not a big fan of creating unnecessary waste - even if it's recyclable. After all, it takes a lot of water to recycle paper/cardboard, and for such a small piece of cardboard, it's more than likely that it'll just end up in the landfill instead of even being recycled.
Personally, I think just wishing or greeting someone can achieve the same thing and still make a big difference. When I moved here, people used to wish me "good morning" if I crossed paths with them during a morning jog, and that was such a huge mood booster for me (back where I lived previously, people would just ignore or even completely avoid you if they saw you across the street). I also make it a point to greet and thank my bus driver every time I catch the bus, which can be a very thankless job, and I'd like to believe it helps.
Maybe if you want to do something more visual/physical, you could perhaps give them a high-five or a hug? Like hold up a sign saying "FREE HUGS".... although I'm not sure if there would be many takers in this post-covid world. If you want to so something more impactful, I'd recommend checking out some of Improv Everywhere's videos. Maybe even get in touch with them, to see if there are any agents where you live, and then you guys could organize something big.
You bring up a good point. Thank you for that. I also didn't know that a simple comment could have such an effect. Nonetheless, I still feel like having something tangible would still be nice, so I'll be sure to use biodegradable business cards. Thank you.
You can buy card stock that has local wildflower seeds embedded in it. The idea is when the person is done with the card, they plant the whole thing so the card decomposes and the seeds sprout.
