One dime every day. That’s all it takes to take your name off junk mail lists, and keep it off the lists. Millions of trees are cut down each year to produce the direct mailers that more often end up in the trash can. If you've ever tried to get yourself off of mailing lists, you know it's a Herculean chore -- you must send out letters to numerous mailing list companies requesting removal of your name and address. And then, if you even buy a product from a catalog or online, donate to a charity, or even change your address, the cycle starts over again. GreenDimes will remove members from dozens of direct marketing lists and plant a tree on every member’s behalf each month. Members can also choose which catalogs to cancel and include additional household members under the same address. Included in membership is an auto-renew feature where GreenDimes tracks the expiration date of each list’s opt-out request and automatically renews the request. Individual plans are either $3 per month or $36 per year, while business plans start at $6 per month.
