Going Green!!! Get rid of the junk mail!

Good Morning green bloogers !!

Do you want to get rid of junk mail. It's good that we recycle the paper, but think about all the gunk going into the air from the wasted paper making etc....We could stop a lot of that.

If you would like to stop your junk mail from coming in here are a few sites you can go to!

www.abacusus.com WWW.catalogchoice.org also you call 1-888-5optout to stop fliers and envelopes. www.optoutprescreen.com is another.

I did all of these. I see a difference already.

If we stopped junk mail we could save 100 million trees a year.

Another fact: We produce 19 billion catalogs requiring a ton of energy. we could run 1.2 million homes a year on the energy used. The companies put out as much emissions as 2 million cars.

OUCH!! That is a lot of wasted material. I get catalogs and to be honest, I don't even look at them. I cut them all out. If I need one, I can order it free online, or browse the online catty.

(I did not stop my stampin' up catalog, does that count????)
