"Beyond Catalogs, More Choices”
A while ago, I wrote about a way to make life easier for our mailmen, building staff and the environment by going to www.CatalogChoice.org and opting out of receiving unwanted catalogs. That site is getting better and better. With over 1million users and 2059 catalogs on their “do not mail list”, it has expanded its value by enabling users to stop getting direct mail solicitations and those annoying preapproved credit card solicitations. I don’t know about you, but those are the letters I can’t just throw away, but must get out my shredder and shred before dumping. Though more complicated than opting out of catalogs, it is worth it not to get those unwanted credit card applications.
