Make Your Own Catalog Choices and Reduce Paper Waste

By Molly McCall, Yahoo! Picks

On Monday, L.L. Bean comes knocking. Tuesday, Pottery Barn slips through the door. Wednesday follows with Harry & David or Crate & Barrel or Whatever & Whatever.

And on and on it goes, the daily deluge of mail order catalogs that are unsolicited-and often unwelcome. To this junk mail inundation, Catalog Choice says: Stop the madness!

Sponsored by the non-profit group Ecology Center, Catalog Choice offers a free way to reduce the clutter in your mailbox and, hopefully, save a few trees, too.

How? Easy.

Create a profile on their site, scroll through the database of catalogs, and select the ones you no longer wish to receive. Catalog Choice takes it from there.

Once you establish a profile, you can always go back and change your mind. Like if you really miss Victoria's Secret sneaking in to the house. The choice is yours.
