Wouldn’t it be great if you could eliminate all the unwanted junk mail that you receive every day? You can block spam e-mails easily, but it can be really hard to get all those catalogs and free credit card offers to stop filling your mail box. Yesterday I actually received THREE offers for the same credit card. No wonder the airlines are going broke – they spend like $1 every single day just trying to get me to sign up for a credit card I already have! OY!
Well here’s a way to stop the insanity. GreenDimes.com 
stops your entire household’s junk mail and plants 10 trees on your behalf for $20. They also offer you the choice to remove only the catalogs you don’t want. You can help improve the environment by stopping the mail you don’t want to receive in the first place. The impact of this is huge. In just over a year of operation, they’ve stopped 3 million pounds of junk mail and saved/planted 1,000,000 trees. They have over 75,000 happy members and have gotten a ton of press – NY Times, Ellen, Good Morning America to name a few. 1st 5 million who sign up for Free also get a free issue of Plenty mag from greendimes.com

I know we’ve all had it up to here (see my hand way over my head?) with those free e-newsletters that promise cool information like the inside scoop on sample sales or free stuff but turn out to be nothing more than e-junk. And that’s why I rarely cover any subscription services here at savvyshoppingblog.com and why we don’t offer a newsletter. It just seems easier to let people know where you are and know that they’ll come to you when they need the information. But this newsletter is a total exception.

It’s always a battle – the gardener versus the creatures enjoying the garden. On the one hand, those pesty critters are a good sign, nature’s indication that your garden is healthy and a place that pests find inviting. On the other hand – they’re pests. Ick! And getting rid of them can be such a battle. And there are so few non-toxic eco-friendly options at the local garden center.
This is the 30th year that ARBICO Organics 
has been providing natural products for organic living – including the best selection of natural and organic pest control solutions just about anywhere.
Save 10% on all orders of $100 or more. Enter coupon code CW100 at checkout. If you only need a couple of items, enter coupon code MC50 to save 5% on all products. No minimum order required. Both of these are ongoing offers.

If you’ve been scratching your head trying to come up with an unusual and thoughtful way to pay tribute to Dad this year on Father’s Day, here’s an idea. Have a tree planted in his honor.
Treegivers.com 
plants trees as part of the reforestation efforts in all 50 states, and you can sponsor a tree to honor anyone you choose for any possible occasion. The tree will be planted in any state and the lucky recipient will be sent a handwritten card along with a customized Certificate of Planting. The gift of a living tree will be remembered forever.

I’ve been shopping for a small attractive bench, something to keep near the front door. And I found something WONDERFUL!
East meets West. Jakarta, dubbed the “Jewel of Asia” by European spice traders, has long been a rich mix of Eastern and Western cultures and styles. Dutch and British influences are evident in the architecture and décor of this ancient Indonesian trading port. That distinctive style is captured handsomely in this Jakarta Hotel Bench – Brown 
. Finely crafted of renewable, locally grown bamboo and rattan, which helps the local economies and also discourages deforestation of precious rain forests. The hand-caned seat is crafted by skilled artisans following generations old tradition. Sturdy and practical, with a rich java colored finish, this piece is a perfect accent at the foot of the bed, or anywhere that needs a little spice. $388 at Soft Surroundings

Natural mineral makeup is everywhere these days. And for good reason. It can be great for your skin and extremely flattering. Assuming you can find the right color.

We’re all looking for ways to be more eco-conscious consumers. At least we all should be. Eco-friendly papers are a great way to start. And in honor of Earth Day, the good folks at Paper.com are offering green shoppers a chance to save 15% on all of their popular earth-friendly cotton papers.
The cotton used to manufacture these papers is not from the puffy white flower that we all recognize as cotton, but rather the linters, or byproduct, from the textile industry. Textiles are made using the longest, highest-quality fibers – the rest is discarded. This wasted cotton is salvaged and used to manufacture these cotton papers. Nothing could be more eco-friendly than reusing a product that is considered waste – otherwise this would all end up in the landfill. Enter coupon code GREEN2008 to save 15% on cotton papers at Paper.com. Offer expires 4/28/2008.
Looking for more great deals? Visit our Home Office Mall, Crafts, Hobbies and Art Supplies Mall or our Stationery and Invitations Mall for always up to the minute insider deals on all things paper.
