Tis The Season

For tons and tons of junk mail. If you're like me and would like to end some of the madness - and save a few dozen trees in the process - here's some links to opt out for catalogs, 'pre-approved' credit card and insurance offers and junk phone calls. Enjoy!

www.dmachoice.org (no phone number) will put you on a "do not mail" list for commercial catalogs, compliance by the businesses who send the catalogs is voluntary but you will see a substantial decrease after the first 30 days (they have a separate process at the same link to reduce spam and e-mail).

You can dramatically reduce the amount of unsolicited mail regarding credit applications, insurance offers etc. by contacting www.optoutprescreen.com or 888-567-8688.

And while you're at it, you can contact www.donotcall.gov to register with the National Do Not Call Registry, or call them at 888-382-1222 from the phone you want to have included on their list.
