Ok farmgirls, it is time to take a stand and save some trees. I don't know about you but I get so many catalogues in the mail that our mail lady has a hernia. Seriously, we get too many! They get sent to the recycling center, but the damage is already done. So....I have spent the better part of this late afternoon contacting each and every one of them by e-mail to remove us from their list. It is a lot of work, but we need to save trees....reduce paper consumption, reduce trash!! There is a great website that I heard of that will do this daunting task for you if you wish.... www.greendimes.com is the website. It costs $36 and they will unsubscribe you and plant a tree a month for you somewhere in the world. Seems like a good thing.....at least will make you think a bit about how you can reduce consumption. I would rather save my mail for goodies to and from my Mary Janes Girlfriends!!!!!!! So now that I am getting no more catalogues......letters from you all would be wonderful....and I will write Back!!!

Seriously, we can all do our part to save this planet!

Keep Smiling.....Bev

Thanks Beverly, I will check this site out.. I get so upset when I go to get mail and its full of junk mail and catalogs.....Think I'll do the same about emailing them to take me off the list for future mailings....That should hopefully say a Tree or Two.....
