Be Green Today-Stop Junk Mail

Face it, everyone including the postman/woman hates junk mail,especially since advertisers are getting sneakier at disquising it as something important that you JUST HAVE TO OPEN. Well, for all the greenies out there in mailland, here is another MAJOR reason to hate that junk mail that clogs up your mailbox most days of the week. Each year over 100 million trees are cut down to create the vast pile of those worthless advertisements...imagine the carbon footprint to produce and mail that much junk mail, and how much space is being used up in landfills because of junk mail? Earthworks Group, environmental consulting firm says cutting out our junk mail is one of the most effective things we can do to reduce pollution.

There is GOOD NEWS!

For a one time fee of just $15 Green Dimes will send you a junk-mail opt-out kit that will remove your name from mailing lists for junk mail and catalogs. They continuously monitor the junk mail lists to make sure your names stay off of them, potentially reducing your junk mail by 90 percent. For a once a year fee of $10 you can refresh your list of junk mail you do not wish to recieve.

Green Dimes also plants 10 trees for each kit sold.
