Eco-Friendly Paper Management: 4 Easy Tips

Image via Wikipedia

So, what’s the easiest and most eco-friendly way to manage paper?  Having less of it!

Here are some resources that will help you have less paper to deal with:

1. Catalog Choice: You choose the catalogs you don’t want to receive. No more catalogs you don’t want for stuff you don’t need.
2. Get Off The DMA Mailing List (USA):  Remove yourself from the Direct Marketing Association’s mailing list.  You can choose to submit via online form or snail mail.  (Cost: $1)
3. Green Dimes: The difference with this service is you get “90% less junk mail” and they plant 10 trees on your behalf.  You purchase their Junk Mail Reduction “kit” ($15) which has resources and tools to get off additional lists.
4. Recycling:  Inevitably you’ll get some paper that these programs won’t catch.  Just be sure to recycle in your local service, or visit www.earth911.org for a recycling program near you.

Recycle, Reduce and Reuse!
