Catalog Clutter


My friend Lisa passes long great advice for getting OFF all those insidious catalog mailing lists:

If you're like me, you get scads of catalogs that you never shop from, that are hard to recycle, and just take up space and kill trees. So I started calling all these companies to get off their lists. One of them was kind enough to tell me I could get on a "do not mail" list and save the trouble of all the calls. So I thought I'd share.

Go to the Direct Marketing Association, http://www.the-dma.org/ and click "Remove my name from mailing lists." It's supposed to take you off lists for five years. It beats calling dozens of companies. This is how I spent my Easter Sunday.
