I got a pair of totally nerdy Lanz pajamas and now I live in them all winter.

Some companies ignore the requests; others, it seems, comply, but then start sending catalogs again, especially around the holidays. Still, the website tells me that I've saved 7 trees, over 2600 lbs. of greenhouse gases, 957 lbs. of solid waste, and 6500 gallons of water by stopping some of the catalogs. It's not a perfect solution, but it's better than nothing. You do have to stay on top of it though, and continue to log onto their website and enter new and repeat catalogs all the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954421364337051721.post-52621805555455101582012-12-04T10:30:15.885-05:002012-12-04T10:30:15.885-05:00One of my problems is the other junk mail that com...One of my problems is the other junk mail that comes (especially when it's addressed to my deceased husband!) If you have an iPhone, get the free app PaperKarma. Once you register for free, you simply take a picture of the sender's address label and upload it. After some "digital magic" the system will confirm the sender with you and then contact the company to remove you from their mailing list. I have used it for almost 20 different pieces of junk mail and it has worked perfectly!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14833082971766091156noreply@blogger.com
