Did you know that the energy used to produce, deliver and dispose of junk mail produces more greenhouse gas emissions than 2.8 million cars? Well thats a big number folks. You can dramatically reduce your junk mail and offset CO2 emissions through the service of the nonprofit organization 41pounds. 41pounds will contact dozens of direct mail companies to remove your name from their lists – credit card offers, coupon mailers, etc. plus the catalogs you specify. The service costs $41 for everyone in your household for 5 years, thats $8.2 a year and only 2 cents a day, and 41pounds will donate $15 to Carbonfund.org . Using this $15 Carbonfund.org will offset 1 metric ton of CO2 (2204 pounds) — which offsets the burning of 114 gallons of gasoline. We can achieve following at just 2 cents/day. I have already done it and hope that you also think about it.
