Do the planet, and yourself, a favor and get your name off direct mail lists. We use 100 million trees and 28 billion gallons of water to produce junk mail for just one year, according to greendimes.com.
You can stop 75% of all junk mail by registering for the Mail Preference Service on the Direct Marketing Association Website.
