GreenDimes is a membership service that removes your home address from dozens of junk mail lists for you. The service stops:

-Junk mail from arriving at your home by removing your name and address from dozens of mass marketing mail campaigns.

-Unwanted catalogs from arriving in your mailbox.

-Mailings addressed to resident, owner or occupant.

-Reduces many of the credit card, insurance, and sweepstakes offers.

-Reduces coupons mailers, retail catalogs, and solicitations from arriving in your mailbox.

This junk mail elimination system also provides its members with pre-printed post cards that can be mailed to those marketers who require a signature to remove you from their address book. However, this service does not stop or reduce offers you receive from companies you already have an existing relationship with (such as a credit card or insurance or monthly bills) nor does it stop the mailing of items like alumni information, magazine subscriptions, bank or brokerage statements or membership organizations.

What are the advantages to using this product to filter your junk mail? Here are just a few:

You will save your own valuable time both from not having to sort through your junk mail and real mail as well as from not having to spend time removing yourself from these mass marketing campaigns.
GreenDimes has access to contact information that may be difficult or time consuming for you to obtain so that you can remove yourself from the mailing list. Why not let them do all the work?
Identity theft due to “dumpster diving” is a popular method of obtaining information. The information you throw away without a second glance becomes exactly the information that is so very valuable to identity thieves. In a few short minutes, the pre approved credit card offer is completed, the return address is filled in, and a total stranger now has a credit card in your name.
By using this service you also protect yourself from the consequences of identity theft. You save not only your credit rating, but valuable time, energy, money and resources correcting the mistakes made on your credit record as well as dealing with credit lenders.
It is more effective than a paper shredder. All too often I see both friends and family members not take the time to shred their junk mail unthinkingly, or maybe even thinking it will never “happen to them.”
By using this service you are eliminating trash as well as helping the environment. Waste is reduced and for every membership obtained, GreenDimes, with their partners, plant 10 trees. For every catalog they remove from your mailing list they plant one tree.

This company began in 2006 and since that time they have stopped 3 million pounds of junk mail and over 500,000 catalogs from being delivered to their members. Over one millions trees have been planted or saved by their service and partners. With over 195,000 residential members the service is growing in popularity and success. It has been featured on the “Ellen” show, in the New York Times, Fox News, and Business Week. A reported decrease of 90% of unwanted junk mail has been applauded by their members.

With two levels of service going green is easy and you can keep some of your own “green.” One service product is “FREE ME” which provides a one year membership to GreenDimes for $20.00. The Free Me membership removes your address from mass mailings, eliminates unwanted catalogs, monitors your account monthly to assist you from being added to any additional lists, and also plants ten trees on your behalf.

You may also purchase the “GREEN ME” membership. This level of service is designed to help you go green in several areas of your life. A one year membership is $36.00 and with it comes your FREE ME membership, a reusable tote bag, a GreenDimes American Apparel T-shirt, two energy saving light bulbs, and a children’s book, “Little Critter: It’s Earth Day,” so you can start teaching your children about being green.

Gift memberships are also available. Free Me service gifts will be delivered via email message indicating the free gift and the Green Me gift will be delivered either via email or for an extra $6.00 you can have the package mailed to their address.

Members see a dramatic decrease in junk mail deliveries in approximately 3 months, because much of the junk mail received is preprinted and prepared for mailing months in advance. Three non-profit partners are involved in the planting of the trees: American Forests, Sustainable Harvest International, and Trees for the Future. The tree planting programs are conducted in the U.S., Central America, India, Haiti, and Senegal.

Payments for the membership are made via credit card. Each membership covers one residential address only. If you want to make a difference as well as do something good for yourself and your family this is a one of a kind opportunity. Not only can you save yourself from unwanted junk mail; but you can also have an efficient method of protecting yourself from the ever growing danger of identity theft due to junk mail. You also receive the additional benefit of helping to protect the environment, through the reduction of waste and the planting of trees. It doesn’t matter if your goals are selfish or environmental, GreenDimes provides you with a unique opportunity to accomplish much, saving you time, you and your family from identity theft and protecting the environment.
