First, reduce junk mail by enrolling in DirectMail.com’s Mail Preference List.

Second, pay bills online and choose online-only statements.

Third, audit your recycleables to see where else you can make a change (for example, we started buying back issues of non-time-sensitive magazines instead of subscribing). Maybe reading the newspaper online is a better option for you than subscribing to the hard copy, especially if you’re tossing out sections of it unopened day after day.

Fourth, use a pdf-writer to save documents for future reference electronically, and print fewer to hard copy. Saves space, too!
