Stop Junk Mail?

I have a strange obsession with getting the mail. I love getting letters, magazines, cards, etc, but there is no bigger disappointment than a mailbox full of junk. What a waste of paper, and my time. There is an online service called Green Dimes that promises to rid your mailbox of these annoying offers. There are 3 levels of subscription, the basic services being free, premium services costing a one time $20 fee, and the "bundle" which costs a one time $36 fee. The paid services offer more perks such as monthly monitoring of your name on junk mail lists, 24/7 customer service (which I'm not sure is a huge selling point for me, why would I need to contact my junkmail reducing provider at 3am?), having 5 trees planted for you and unlimited household names. When you sign up at any level, Green Dimes will send you a dollar, plant a tree for you, or send you a copy of an environmental magazine. I'm not sure that I am ready to spring for a paid subscription, but I am definitely going to check out the free services to see how much of a difference it makes. I'll let you know how Green Dimes works out for me, and if you join, please share your experience with me.

Green Cleaning Products

As a parent, it's overwhelming to realize that the very products that we use to clean our house in an effort to keep our children safe and healthy, are actually full of chemicals that can not only hurt them, but the environment as well. Have you ever read the ingredients on some of the household cleaners that you use on a daily basis? It's frightening. There are a variety of green cleaning products on the market today, but how many of them are what they claim to be? Lack of regulation and lack of consumer knowledge makes it easy for some companies to make claims that simply aren't true, figuring that the consumers will feel so good about being eco-friendly, that they won't question them. Mienviron green cleaning products are one of the only products on the market that are certified organic, made with only food grade organic standard.

Mienviron is a fantastic company to start your switch to environmentally friendly cleaning products, and you don't have to worry that their claims are misleading. The certification of their products by two of the world's leading independent certifying bodies lets you rest assured that Mienviron is the real dea.
