I joined the Red Dot Campaign (http://www.reddotcampaign.ca/) today. This is a privately funded social venture promoting the reduction of junk mail. Their mandate is to raise awareness of Canada Post's eco-friendly Consumer Choice option that reduces waste and clutter. All you need to do is put a "no admail" or "no junk mail" sign on your mailbox. The signs can be downloaded from the website and taped to your mailbox.
I also signed up for the Canadian Marketing Association's Do Not Contact Registry (http://www.the-cma.org/?WCE=C=47%7CK=224217), to reduce unwanted marketing offers from their members.
Then, I thought, what the heck, and signed up for the CRTC's Do Not Call List (http://www.ioptout.ca/). The website is not up and running yet, but you can contact them at 1-866-580-3625.
The inspiration for this blog came after reading Vanessa Farquharson's book, Sleeping Naked is Green, and wondering if her new eco-lifestyle was really applicable to a family of 5 that was already fairly environmentally friendly. At the urging of a friend, I took on the challenge of trying to improve my family's "green-ness", using the book as a template. This blog will record our attempts to improve our environmental foot-print one small change at a time.
