Did you know that the average American receives over 800 pieces, or 41 pounds, of mail annually? That adds up to the lives of 100 million trees. So, please declutter, and also help the planet at the same tine. Sign up with 41pounds.org, which gets you off catalog and contest lists for five years. Plus, 41pounds.org donates a portion of the $41 fee to the environmental or community group of your choice. Now, how is that for awesome? Check it out!
Good morning Kristin,
I send the self postage envelope back with the clutter in it; helps the USPS and the local dump.
Make yourself a great day.
Ray and I think alike Kristin. It takes about 3 times repeating this process and you're unsubscribed for life.
Kristin, I love info like this! I have to bookmark and get back to this...you know those continuing To Do lists. I want to make sure that I still get some of my fav catalogs, since I live out in the middle of nowhere and it helps me shop! Not seeing nearly the amount of mail we used to get. I get stuff from the nonprofits I belong to like World Wildlife Foundation. But, then they send photo cards, so that's good!!
Kristin- I get all of my newspapers on line now and have cut back as much as I can on paper mail. Did not know of this organization.
Hey Kristin, thanks for the website, I will looke into it. I agree with Ray suggestion. Have a good day!
You bet I will, but they won't start sending me a bunch of junk mail then will they? :)
Thanks Gayle, yes, I need one or two of my mags too, but the rest can go bye bye!
Kathy, good for you too!!
Will, same to you :-)
Laura, I don't think so :-)
Kristin, I'm with you on this....every day I get my mail and stand over my garbage looking to see how much I can throw away!
Kristin
I have to send out a snail mail tomorrow and the last one was three months ago.
Good luck and success.

Kristin - so much junk mail... we also have so much paperwork in real estate.. I don't know where it comes from...it seems I am always decluttering reports, listing sheets, etc.. you are so right..
Kristin - this is a great way to get rid of it. Junk mail is such a pain; I did this several years ago and it has helped.
I know Gay...I try to save as much as I can in the cloud...
Toni, you are always ahead of the game :-)
