There needs to be a way that every merchant only sends a catalog or email IF the person checks the box - it should not be that they have to uncheck a box. I have also noticed that some merchants, whom I love to shop with, such as Chef's, seem to generate a new customer number and catalog every time we ordered in the past - it's only clear now that we have been tracking this for 6 months. These companies need to get smart about sending just one catalog per mailing address and only IF the family wants one at all (see above).

I for one would never buy anything from a merchant who refused to accept my decision to stop it's mailings. Seems to me, they are throwing money away (I'd rather they throw it my way).

I can go along with this. I have been going online and exploring several catalogs but still not buying stuff. Excellently well said. I can go along with this.

We found a cool DVD that is green (uses 50% less plastic, 100% recyclable, 71% and 50% smaller carbon footprint in production and transport). It also weighs less than normal DVDs which saves on postage. Google flex-lite DVD. I do a lot of direct mail and have tried to stay as gree as possible.
