MassRecycle holds a number of events throughout the year to help communities and organizations implement successful waste reduction programs.  Programming highlights include an annual green office conference, recycling facilities tours, and advocacy for sound public policy around recycling and other forms of waste reduction.

It’s called Swaptree.com and the possibilities it opens up to reduce and reuse are so great, it almost make me giddy.  Remember that series of books your child just had to have in first grade but has now outgrown?  List them on swap tree and you could find yourself with the must-have series for third graders.  Or how about those videos that your children watched endlessly as toddlers?  Trade them for the Wii games they have been nagging you for.  Or how about all those thrillers you buy at the airport?  Trade them for ones you haven’t read.

I signed up with 41 pounds about a year ago, and although I haven’t tested to see whether my mail has been reduced by 80%, it has been significantly reduced.  If at any point during the 5 year period you notice that you are getting new junk mail and/or that your old junk mail is returning, contact 41 pounds and they’ll take care of it for you.

There are also things you can do to protect yourself.  Check out our green tip, Junk Your Junk Mail, to learn more.
