Go Green Stop Junk Mail

 

Lately people are getting more concern about being friendlier with the environment. With the splash of media and their campaign to "Go Green", it seems like it's not a bad idea to help out in anyway. It may seem like a lot of work in order to help out our environment. But the little things we do that can make an impact. For example we can use reusable bags for our groceries. Make sure you use cleaning products that are organic and does not contain and toxic. It is safer for yourself and your children. Recycle your old paper and plastics. These little things can does really help save our resources and help the environment.

Go green and stop junk mail is a concept from a company called GreenDimes that was started in 2006, since then almost 4 million pounds of junk mail has been stopped. The number keeps growing daily as more people become aware of the benefits of their service. They have been featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, CNN, New York Times and other media publications. If more people incorporate this in their life, I think the difference will be huge.

Go Green Stop Junk Mail With GreenDimes 

GreenDimes is a service that removes your name from company mailing list to eliminate junk mails from your home. It could be the first step on going green. Here's how their company can help us take that first step. Perhaps if you want to get rid of your junk mails, you would call the company that sends them directly to your home. It would take plenty of time if a person tries to call each one of the junk mail provider and ask to be taken out of their list. Fortunately, GreenDimes has access to contact information so no time or effort is needed from your end because they do it for you automatically. They will also monitor your junk mail monthly to make sure that you are continually off the junk mail list. A great benefit when you sign up for their service is not only will they get rid of your junk mail but they will also plant new trees on your behalf. For every household you commit on getting rid of junk mail, they will plant 10 new trees.

There is also another great benefit with this service as well. We probably have all heard about identity theft, a problem that unfortunately some people go through. Some suffer great financial loss or have their identity used for something illegal. How is it possible for thieves to steal your identity? "Dumpster diving", it is a way to get personal information used by thieves by literally going through your garbage and looking for credit card application or personal letter and whatever else they can find that has your personal information. For example, they can easily sign up for credit card offer that has been sent to you and threw away. By filling up the application and using it to purchase stuff leaving you with the financial burden. Of course that won't really happen to you if your shred your mails before you throw them away, right? GreenDimes helps eliminate identity theft and all the work that comes to avoid it because you won't be receiving junk mails anymore.

Lastly in your effort to "Go Green", GreenDimes will help eliminate all the clutter and trash that is being sent to your home. Much of that junk mail will end up in your hands for you to throw away. That is a waste of tons and tons of paper unless you go right back and recycle them. The good thing is trees that have been cut down to make paper will be recycled by GreenDimes by planting new trees.

What Kind Of Services Does GreenDimes Offer?

GreenDimes offer two kinds of services. The "Free Me" service offers removal of names from dozens of mailing list, eliminates unwanted catalog, monthly monitoring and 10 trees planted. The "Green Me" service has all the "Free Me" services but you will also receive gifts like a reusable GreenDimes Bag, a T-Shirt, energy saving light bulbs and children's book about going green. If you are a "Go Green" kind a person and looking to help the environment you might want to check out what GreenDimes is doing for our environment and the service they offer. But even if your not you can still find it beneficial.

Go Green What Does It Mean? 

A video from youtube about a girl trying to explain how to go green. Quite informative and entertaining.

Go Green

I had no idea what this meant. Am I the only one? I can't be! Tips: Conserve your H2O! Don't leave your water running when you brush your Teeth. Cut your showers in half. Compost is easier than you think. If you have an outdoor compost pile make sure you are feeding it! Egg shells and fruit peels are great for your compost because it feed the worms. WORMS are the key to turning around your waste into rich dirt you can reuse. You can do indoor compost as well- just make sure you have a lid with air holes for the worms and so the compose itself can "breath". Mulch your fallen branches and reuse the debris for landscaping. Leave your lawn clippings on your lawn! Reduce waste and feed your lawn! Unplug electrical things that you are not using from your outlets. Change your light bulbs to energy efficient ones! These are small changes that can go a LONG way! Try them out! I'm still learning about Going Green! I'm no expert so if anyone else has great tips or suggestions please leave a comment for everyone to read!
