Catalog Choice – Eliminate Waste and Save Natural Resources

Each year, 19 billion catalogs are mailed to American consumers. Catalog Choice is a free service that allows you to decide what gets in your mailbox. Use it to reduce your mailbox clutter, while helping save natural resources. Your participation benefits merchants, lowering their cost of distribution and helping them better target their market.  Also, your participation as a member of the Catalog Choice community will collectively make a huge positive impact on the environment, as together we reduce the energy consumed, the carbon emissions, and the lost forests resulting from the current annual production and discarding of billions of paper catalogs.

Disposing of Compact Fuorescent Bulbs

By now most of us have heard that compact fluorescent bulbs are better for the environment than incandescent bulbs but we also know that they contain mercury. The question, now, is how should we dispose of these bulbs? To find out all about CFLs click on the logo

Some Home Depot & IKEA stores will accept old CFLs.
