wfmw – get off junk mail lists for good

The only thing I dislike more than spam is junk mail. My home mailbox is always loaded with sales flyers, job offers and keys to cars I’ll never wins. Once, I almost threw away my water bill because it had worked its way in between the pages of a thick sales flyer and on a whim, I checked the flyer out and discovered my bill. It used to cost you to your name to the Direct Marketing Association’s “Do Not Mail” list. Sad that you’d have to pay to avoid receiving mail you didn’t want, huh? But not anymore—the DMA recently made the paper-saving solution absolutely FREE. Registering for their Mail Preference Service takes only a few minutes, and they promise that within two months, your home mailbox will contain 80 percent less junk mail. (With 400 million tons of unwanted mail being produced each year, you’ll be saving more than a buck — maybe you’ll help save a few trees in the process!) ~ cited from Readymademag
