I would like you to join me on Catalog Choice.
Catalog Choice is an easy, free service that allows you to decline unsolicited catalogs, reducing the number of catalogs in your mailbox and lightening your footprint on the environment.
What a GREAT IDEA!
I learned about this new free service on Bill Moyers Journal last night, and signed up today.
Billions of catalogs go from mail box to recycle bin, or worse yet garbage, every year.
We all love catalogs, but get way too many.
I spent quite a few hours earlier this year calling each one I didn't want.
If anything they have MULTIPLIED since that effort.

Did you know?
Over eight million tons of trees are consumed each year in the production of paper catalogs.
Nearly half of the planet’s original forest cover is gone today. Forests have effectively disappeared in 25 countries, and another 29 have lost more than 90% of their forest cover.
Deforestation contributes between 20% and 25% of all carbon pollution, causing global climate change.
More than one billion people living in extreme poverty around the world depend on forests for their livelihoods.
There are other significant environmental impacts from the catalog cycle. The production and disposal of direct mail alone consumes more energy than three million cars.
The manufacturing, distribution, collection and disposal of catalogs generates global warming gases as well as air and water pollution. Reducing the number of unwanted catalogs that are mailed will help the environment.
