Give less this holiday season

I came across this great idea in this month's issue of Natural Health magazine. Rather than buying more stuff for those on your Christmas list, spending $5 here and there on one knicknack or another, spend some time taking friends and family members off junk mail lists.

Visit the website dmachoice.org to register their addresses. They will appreciate their emptier mailboxes, and you will help cut back on the estimated 100 million trees that are sacrified each year to fund America's junk mail habit.

If anyone wants to do this for me, I'd be honored. All I want this Christmas is less junk! And a Starbucks gift card.
