Fight back and save a tree

Our mail box is stuffed, again! Especially this time of year when the junk mail is accompanied by every imaginable catalog such as Victoria Secret, Harry and David, Red Envelope, Fairytale Brownies, and the list goes on and on. Some of these are merchants I have used and like but I didn't ask for and don’t need their catalogs. Did you know the paper used to produce catalogs annually is equivalent to 8 million trees?

I came across a site, Catalog Choice, which we have started to use to reduce the number of catalogs we get. You register, find the catalog you want to stop getting and they do the work. Yes, it would be great if they just took your name off of all catalog mailing lists but this is a start and let’s face it we all have a few catalogs we enjoy looking at. It is too late to stop what you will get over this holiday season but think about the spring catalogs you won’t have to throw away!
