stop the presses! do you get tons of advertising flyers in the mail? do you just toss them out? recycle them, maybe? yesterday i did something that has been on my list for a long time. i noticed who was responsible for sending me the local advertising flyers, went to their website, and removed my address from their mailing list. it was surprisingly easy and it will save so much paper over the coming years. please consider doing the same; it just takes a few minutes. and if you actually use the coupons, it's quite likely that you can get the same coupons and learn about the same sales on their website. i also try to remove my address from the mailing list for any other catalogs and flyers i receive. that is sometimes more difficult. today i had to call two companies, but it still wasn't that bad. even better than Recycling the paper is Reducing the amount that is mailed out.
