Americans receive nearly 90 billion pieces of advertising mail every year. With thousands of companies offering to share their mailing lists, that adds up to an information super highway where individuals are losing control.

More and more certifications show up each year pushing their green credentials. As a result and it is harder and harder to know which ones are actually credible. An empty mailbox with no catalogs or tricky labels is the only true green path.

Canceling 6,705 individual catalogs stops 40,230 catalogs from being made next year. This will also save 112,644 gallons of water. Impressive results from a simple, kid-friendly project.

We at Park School held a friendly "Catalog Canceling Challenge" among grades 3-5 to see which group of kids could cancel the most catalogs in 30 days.

We made the videos as we canceled unwanted sales catalogs for 30 days to save trees, water, energy, and climate. Our school canceled over 3,000 this year saving 40 trees!
