Get Rid of Junk Mail
For me, there’s nothing more irritating than junk mail. Its like someone mails you a bunch of trash everyday so I can throw it away for them. According to Catalog Choices, 8 million trees are deforested every year to provide paper for junk mail, most of which goes unread. The average person receives 40 pounds of junk mail a year, all of which is transported via plane and truck filling our atmosphere with CO2. Whether you read them or not, at least recycle the paper!
OPT OUT OF JUNK MAIL
Fortunately there’s something you can do to rid yourself of junk mail. A great online resource is www.donotmail.org, click and follow the steps to remove yourself from mailing lists. Many catalog mailers use a database system called Abacus. Go to www.abacus-us.com and click on “Consumer Opt-Out” to take your name off those mailing lists.
