stop junk mail
Almost every year I have to repeat this process. But I wanted to share the email and some addition info with you. I have remarked on a few things below. You will have to repeat with every move, every new purchase where you give your complete name, address, and phone number. Like a credit card application. Your name is put on a runway to mailings.

Welcome mr mrs this is to decline catalogs however you need the catalog to do so!!!!

Thank you. You are now opted-out of most unsolicited mail.Primary Name: Alternate Name: Alternate Name: Alternate Name: Address: UserName: Email: DMA’s Mail Preference
ServiceImportant: You have selected to eliminate all mailings from organizations participating in the DMA Mail Preference Service.
Are you sure you want to proceed?
The average household can save $1422 dollars per year from marketing offers. By eliminating all mail offers not only will you miss out on these savings, but you’ll miss out on at least 80% of all commercial offers and discounts!And you will miss the environmental benefits of shopping at home rather than driving to the mall!
By replacing just two shopping trips to the mall each year with shopping by catalogs or direct mail, DMA estimates that Americans could:
* Reduce the amount we drive by 3.3 billion miles.
* Reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 3 billion pounds.
* Save more than $490 million on gas costs.

Smart Power Strips, Talking Chargers
You are Being Stolen from!! and you didn't know it.
You may not even know you are being stolen from by your chargers!
95% of the power used by plugged in unused chargers for any device is being wasted. When you disconnect your cell phone, laptop or other device unplugged it. As long as it stays plugged into the wall it continues to draw electricity.
tips to save $$ and energy: Unplug unused items, chargers ect., install a whole house master switch or smart strips, timer strips and other ideas for you.
Can't we use a timer for our chargers? Can't we turn off the power Strip When not in use?
Smart Strip, when an item is not in use, unit can slow the energy to the plugged in charger.
Like Mini Power Minders, " research shows one could simply save a few hundred dollars each year"

Low carbon Eating?
This is great, I was telling you how most of your non local food travels on average 1,500 miles before making it to your table. Also just learned that when food is shipped from over seas it could sit for weeks in ports before ever being picked up and brought to the distribution center.
http://www.seventhgeneration.com/learn/news/guide-low-carbon-eating
Great info. Buy Local when ever you can.
