Is your mailbox a junk mail graveyard?

The Bite:

Help it rest in peace. Unwanted mail crowds out invites and tax refunds, and uses up valuable natural resources like trees, water, and energy. Point, click, and put to rest credit-card offers and catalog clutter once and for all.

The Benefits:

Keeps you out of the sanitarium. Each American receives almost 560 pieces of junk mail per year - more than enough to drive you crazy.
Saves energy. Junk mail consumes more energy than 2.8 million cars every year.
More trees. Annually, 100 million trees are used to make junk mail.
More free time. Americans waste about 8 hours per year dealing with junk mail.

Personally Speaking:

Ever since we removed our names from junk mail lists, we've had to revert to grade school, writing grocery lists on our palms.

Wanna Try:

DirectMail.com - free, quick way to get your name off commercial mailing lists.
OptOutPrescreen.com - opt out of pre-approved credit card and insurance offers online or by phone: 1-888-5-OPTOUT.
EcoLogical Mail Coalition - helps businesses stop mail addressed to former employees.
Native Forest Network's Guide - five easy steps to stop junk mail.

Cocktail Fact

The average American gets 1.5 personal letters each week and 10.8 pieces of junk mail.

Bang For The Bite

If 10,000 Biters eliminate their junk mail, in a year we'll save the weight of 199 U.S. Postal Service trucks in paper.

I cannot wait to try out this site. I receive a ton of mail for former employees, or employees that are deceased. We have labels made to have the mail sent back. It takes extra time and is not good for the environment, all this waste! I love the newsletters I get from Ideal Bite, so many time saving, healthy ideas. Thanks!

You can not buy jewelry stores at any jewelry stores except jewelry stores’s own, since they never sell outside their jewelry stores This replica louis vuitton is so unique, and I never see it’s sold in the LV stores, where did you get this one please?
