Minimize Mailbox Clutter

Want to reduce mailbox clutter? So do I. Which is why catalogchoice.org is good for both of us. It lets us opt out of receiving catalogs we’ve no interest in (at no charge), reducing the production and discarding of some 19 billion paper catalogs per year. Joining is easy. I signed up today, and the process took maybe 10 minutes, including listing catalogs I don’t want to receive. (It apparently helps if you have your customer number, listed just above your name and address on the catalog itself, but it’s not mandatory.) As catalogs continue to pile up in my mailbox, I’ll continue to add them to the list.
