And a junk-mail solution

From The Eldest:

I just found this web site to deal with my huge junk mail problem. The company is called GreenDimes. For a dime a day they get your name off direct mailing lists and keep it off, and plant a tree for you every month.

Solving my junk mail problem is great for me and helps the environment at the same time. Did you know that a typical American household receives about 70 pounds of junk mail a year? (I think it’s more at my house.) Add it up and that’s 100 million trees chopped down each year to make junk mail, most of which we don’t want and ends up in landfills.

So if you want to stop your mailbox from overflowing, see your kitchen counter again, and save some trees, take a look at GreenDimes.
