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. For a fee of $1, they will help remove your name and address from prospective mailing lists. Be patient, as it may take up to 90 days for most mail to stop. But you will be glad you did.
