Reduce mailbox clutter-as well as the time it takes you to sift through all those unwanted solicitations-by signing up with Catalog Choice, a free online service that lets you bid adios to the catalogs you no longer want to receive in the mail.

The catalog industry produces billions of copies of catalogs each year-17 billion in 2001 alone, to be exact, according to Environmental Defense, or 59 for every man, woman, and child in the United States. Besides felling millions of trees, producing this much paper also consumes a monumental amount of energy and water, while generating significant air-and-water pollution and solid waste-all for something we breeze through and then drop directly into the recycling bin.

With its growing database of catalog companies, Catalog Choice opts you out through a process similar to a "do not call" list. While catalog distributors are not required to comply with the opt-out list as they are with government-sponsored ones, the service works the same way as if you called the catalog company yourself. To begin, simply visit the Web site and sign up. ::Catalog Choice and ::E Magazine
