No more unwanted mail!!!

Written by wbrokhof on January 3rd, 2009
Summary:

I began to do some searching into how I could stem the flow of unwanted mail. It’s bad for so many reasons. It’s not just the paper, but think of all the time, money, materials, shipping, energy, etc. that go into each one. Imagine the resources we could free up if we all opted-out of our catalogs! Well, I’m glad you agree. I’ll save you the time of researching for yourself:

Im out to get unwanted mail

I'm "out to get" unwanted mail

I live on Amory Street in Jamaica Plain, MA and I came out to get my mail the other day to find about 15 catalogs. I added it to the pile in my house that had been piling up. I was totally frustrated. There must have been a whole tree there.

Catalog Choice will allow you to set your preferences for most of these catalogs or opt-out altogether. I highly recommend you also set up an account at DMA Choice which will basically get you off all mailing lists for 5 years if I remember correctly.

Just trying to do a little something for the environment. Help me out.

    Great suggestions. I opted out of my mail service a while back and it’s so much easier sorting through your mail, and it’s good for the planet too. Thank you!
