What kills 100 million trees a year, uses 28 billion gallons of water, and weighs about 70 pounds?

a) Evil, emaciated politicians
b) The U.S. termite population
c) Junk mail

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, those useless flyers, magazines, and pamphlets you get alongside your bills and Vanity Fair every month are taking a serious toll on the earth.

Greendimes is doing its part to change that. Sign up for the service, and for ten cents a day (about the price of a stick of nonbiodegradable gum), they will stalk, scream, and stop the madness on your behalf. But they don’t stop there. They also help reforestation by planting a new tree for every member monthly.

Choose from three membership levels: Seedlings pay $3 a month (plus credit card fees), Saplings pay $36 per year, and Trees are freed from junk mail for life for just $360. This is no small feat on their end, as each time you move, donate money to charity, buy something from a catalog, or even get a new credit card, your name gets sold to more lists.

If only those silly politicians would do their jobs.
