Consumer report

Or, a tool for trying to reduce your consumerism, carbon footprint, etc.

I heard about this website on the news. I signed up for it in the hopes of reducing the ridiculous number of catalogs that arrive at my house every week. So far, two companies have refused to honor the request and the rest (another ten or so) are pending.

Which is to say, I don't know if the opt-out, "no-call" for catalogs site will work. It's a great idea, so I'm hopeful. If it does work -- even for one company -- yay. But no results yet. We'll see.

Let's hope the site delivers -- or doesn't!
