According to ForestEthics, more than 100 BILLION pieces of junk mail are delivered in the United States each year. This creates over 51 million metric tons of greenhouse gases, which is the equivalent of idling 2.4 million cars 24/7. Ouch!
Protect your mailbox before the barrage of holiday catalogs hit! GreenDimes gives you control over catalog delivery so you can choose what you get. Plus, they will plant five trees on behalf of each premium member.
GreenDimes offers a do-it-yourself kit, which is free. Or you can upgrade to their premium service for a flat fee of $20. I signed up for the premium service today and think it was money well spent. They listed a handful of companies that specialize in junk mail offers and you can also search by name of catalog. Simply add the catalogs and GreenDimes will notify them immediately.
Check it out! Your mailbox and recycle bin will thank you.

How can be stop all the telemarketing that's such a nuisance?
Hi PlantBuddy,
The telemarketing is a totally different problem altogether. But you CAN do something about that as well. Simply join the Do Not Call Registry at: https://www.donotcall.gov/
Good luck!
