Paper Waste Makes me Sad
I hate paper waste. I despise seeing shredded paper all over offices, stacks of useless files being thrown out etc. I find it offensive that we simply toss out paper as if it had no value at all. The majority of paper is not recycled, and is just thrown in the trash and therefore land filled.
I had a thought about 2 years ago where we would work an initiative to stop bulk junk mail. Who loves getting tons of paper in their mailbox daily that you never even look at? I hate it, and I thought if we could eliminate the BILLIONS of pounds of junk mail waste that we produce yearly, we may be able to make a dent in the clear cutting and absolute decimation of our world’s forests.
Today I was browsing for some tips on how to make a service like this, when I ran into Green Dimes which is a service that takes local area junk mail providers and allows you to remove yourself from their lists for up to 5 years.
This takes some time with their FREE service. You may want to set aside 30-60 minutes to complete all of the opt-out processes but I can assure you it is worth it if we can help reduce waste even a fraction of a percent.
This service really will help if we can spread the word. So if you liked it, tell a friend.
Note: Go to the biggest culprit directly and remove yourself to stop 90% of the BS in your mailbox. Click Here Now.
