Catalog Choice: Go green stop the catalogs
October 27, 2007
The holiday shopping season is upon us. How many unwanted shopping catalogs did you receive in the mail last year? From here on out, you can rid yourself of unwanted catalogs. Catalog Choice is a free service that will help you stop the madness of unwanted catalogs getting stuffed into your mailbox.
Oh sure, we can keep throwing the catalogs that clutter our mailbox into the recycle bin or trash, however stopping the postal mailbox pollution will save millions of trees that are needed to create and publish those catalogs in the first place. It’s alarming to realize that almost half of the the planet’s original forest cover is gone today. According to Catalog Choice, the production and disposal of direct mail alone consumes more energy than three million cars and the manufacturing, distribution, collection and disposal of catalogs generates global warming gases as well as air and water pollution.
A sponsored project of the Ecology Center, Catalog Choice offers simple step by step help in reducing the number of unwanted catalogs you receive in your mailbox. Sign up for the free service, find the catalogs you do not wish to receive and the service will contact the publishers on your behalf with a request that your name be removed from their mailing list.
If the merchants continue sending the catalogs, report it to Catalog Choice and they will take further action. Visit Catalog Choice to learn more and sign up to participate in reducing waste and protecting the environment.
