Going green is all the rage this holiday season. Here’s one easy way to reduce waste in your life: Say “no” to all of those glossies cluttering your mailbox by signing up for Catalog Choice.
It’s a new project sponsored by the Ecology Center and endorsed by both theNational Wildlife Foundation and the Natural Resources Defense Council. The free service is less than two months old and already, there aremore than 230,000 registered users who have opted out of receiving 31 million catalogs and in turn, will save 84,332 treesnext year.
Here’s all you have to do: Log on to www.catalogchoice.org, and follow the prompts. Once you have registered, follow the simple process of selecting those catalogs you don’t want to receive, entering your customer number, and voila! Catalog Choice says, “the wizards behind the website contact the companies and remove your name from your chosen sites.”
You can modify your preferences at any time and also suggest catalogs that are not yet in the Catalog Choice database. De-clutter your kitchen counter AND preserve the earth — what a concept!
