A few weeks ago, another green mama told me about an informative episode of Oprah that outlined different ways to go green at home. On the episode, Oprah mentioned GreenDimes.com, an organization that helps rid our mailboxes of junk mail, and in addition, plants trees in multiple continents to offset the trees killed for unwanted advertisements and catalogs. For my birthday, my gift to myself was a membership at GreenDimes which included my current name, my maiden name, and my husband’s name. Fortunately, my daughter’s name hasn’t been bought yet and thus far, her only mail comes from grandparents in Connecticut.
Check it out. They keep count of pounds of junk mail stopped for each second your visiting their site. Pretty neat.
