Getting Rid of Junk Mail/ Opt Out for the Environment!

Everyday as a business owner, real estate industry participant and everyday consumer we are bombarded with junk mail and catalogs! Per information at http://www.catalogchoice.org/environmental-facts

According to estimates at the Catalog Choice Project; approximately 53 million tons of trees are havested each year to produce 19 billion catalogs! And that is just the catalogs! The energy expended in catalog production is enough to power 1.2 million homes for a year and produces the emmissions of approximately 2 million cars!

Opt out legistlation now provides websites and phone numbers to opt out:
