The Bite:
Then you won't need those catalogs anymore. This year, get off catalog mailing lists to save energy, paper, and embarrassment when your neighbor sees you pull an unwanted mail-order-marriage catalog out of your box.  
The Benefits: 
  • Mailbox bliss. Every American receives about 63 mailbox-clogging catalogs per year.
  • Saving resources. U.S. catalog production uses 53 mil trees and enough water to fill 81,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools each year. Even true romance might not be worth all that.
  • More time. Americans waste about 8 hrs per year dealing with junk mail - almost as much time as they spend writing alimony checks.
  • Save money. Keeping your eyes off glossy pages filled with shiny bobbles might mean fewer impulse buys. Might...
Personally Speaking:

Wanna Try: 

Cocktail Fact
