E-commerce is the hot way to shop, but remember, e-commerce is not necessarily waste-free. Choose items that won't be excessively packed for shipping.

If you're shopping by mail order catalogue, remember to cancel the ones you don't need.

Did you know...in 1981 the average household received 59 mail order catalogues, and by 1991 the number had increased 140%, to 142?

Did you know...if each household canceled 10 mail-order catalogues it would reduce trash by 3.5 pounds per year? (If everybody did this, the stack of canceled catalogues would be 2,000 miles high!)
