Controlling the Mail Part II

One of the best tips I've gotten from "The Green Year" is to stop/control the number of catalogs coming in our mail. I think I was on everyone's list. I only buy from a limited number of companies and I really hate the waste - as well as taking the time to shred the mailing labels. www.catalogchoice.org is great. If I get a catalog now that I don't want anymore, I just go to this website, log on, input the information and if the company participates in their program, they do the rest. If the company doesn't participate, I also call them, just to make sure I'm removed.

Today's tip in "The Green Year" suggests going to online billing. This whole electronic-world only is a new thing for me, but I finally did sign up for online banking last month. My next step is to stop the paper statements and chose one bill at a time to do online bill pay.

Baby steps...
