Help the Environment AND Unclutter Your Mailbox

Did you know that the production and disposal of direct mail alone consumes more energy than 3 million cars? Each year, 8 million trees are consumed in the production of paper catalogs . . . and deforestation contributes to 20-25% of all carbon pollution causing climate changes. Here's an easy way to help the environment AND unclutter your mailbox. Simply go to http://www.catalogchoice.org/ and set up an account that allows you choose which catalogs you'd no longer like to receive in the mail. The mission of Catalog Choice is to improve the efficiency of catalog distribution by reducing the number of repeat and unsolicited mailings, and to promote the adoption of sustainable industry best practices. Catalog Choice is sponsored by the Ecology Center and endorsed by the National Wildlife Federation and the Natural Resources Defense Council. Funding for Catalog Choice is provided by the Overbrook Foundation, the Merck Family Fund and the Kendeda Fund.
