Reduce Waste: Stop Junk Mail
Is your mailbox often crammed full of catalogs selling everything from bath towels to kitchen cutlery?

If you want to bump up your green living efforts and stamp out junk mail, here are a few links to get your started:
ProQuo: ProQuo is a free junk mail elimination service that claims to stop 90% of your junk mail by removing your name from junk mail lists.
Green Dimes: Green Dimes is a free service to stop junk mail, and according to their website, they’ll even pay you a buck to sign up.
Stop Junk Mailing. Com: This is a paid service ($25) that also claims to stop 90% of junk mail.
Don’t forget to recycle junk mail that does manage to make it to your door.
