Catalog Choice
By Molly McCall
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.
