I just stumbled onto this website, GreenDimes. This company helps you reduce the junk mail you receive by up to 90% AND they’ll plant 10 trees on your behalf (all this for $15). Sounds pretty good to me. Check it out for yourself.
Here are some facts from the GreenDimes website about junk mail:
- 100 million trees are cut down each year to create the approximately 4.5 million tons of junk mail in the United States
- 28 billion gallons of water go into the production of American junk mail annually
Argh, all this tree cutting and wasting just makes me mad!!
One area that I don’t think these guys can affect is credit card junk mail. There is a free way to deal with that, though:
