About 2.9 billion magazines delivered to newsstands each year are never read. If placed end to end, these would circle the Earth 20 times.

Green Living - Durango Colorado

Dark green is out, light green is in. Everyone says they want to do the right thing to protect the environment, but until now lacked a positive, accessible source of advice and ideas designed for real people - busy people like you for whom "saving the earth" more often than not falls victim to "saving the day."

First Tip:

Is your mailbox a junk mail graveyard?
Junk mail is more than simply annoying – it also uses valuable natural resources like trees, water, and energy. Give your postman a lighter load to carry this year and eliminate your catalog clutter.

The Benefits

  • Shop online and save resources! U.S. catalog companies sent out 17 billion catalogs last year - 59 for every man, woman and child in the nation. 
  • Discourage non-recycled paper by halting catalog sends. Many of the biggest company mailers and mags use no recycled content.
  • Cut paper use.  Magazine production in the U.S. uses more than 2.2 million tons of paper per year and the number is increasing annually.
