Stop recieving junk mail.

Always opt for the "Green Choice" when signing up for services such as your cell phone bill and bank statements. Instead, sign up to have your bill/statments emailed to you. That way there will be less paper used and less gas used for actually shipping them to you.

Also, some stores are starting to email reciepts such as Urban Outfitters. Having your reciept email to you is definitely more convienient being that you wont have worry about losing the reciept.

According to DoNotMail.org, it takes 100 million trees to produce the junk mail delivered every year to U.S. mailboxes, including the roughly 800 pieces that arrive in your mailbox, if yours is a typical household.

If you register for the Mail Preference Service on the Direct Marketing Association, your name and address will be removed from mailing lists within 90 days.

You can also opt out of home phone book delievery if you do not need it (which most of us does not). Try usings Yellow Pages Goes Green.
