			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/mailbox.jpg" align="right" /><strong>I don&#8217;t know about you, but I get tons of store catalogs in the mail every month.</strong> It drives me crazy because I only look at a fraction of them (you know, the one&#8217;s I actually signed up for) and end up throwing the rest in the recycling bin once I get sick of them cluttering my dining room table. It always seems like such a monumental waste to me, so I was glad to read about  GreenDimes on <a href="http://www.girlawhirl.com/girlawhirl/publish/greendimes_com.aspx">Girlawhirl</a> today.</p>
<p><strong>For $16, <a href="http://www.greendimes.com">GreenDimes</a> will help you rid your mailbox of unsolicited catalogs and other junk mail by getting your name off of thousands of mailing lists. </strong>There are a few steps involved, but in 8 weeks you&#8217;ll see a reduction of retail catalogs, credit card offers and other stuff you never asked for. You can reduce by up to 90% for good, which saves trees, water and dining room tables. Plus, the company plants 10 trees with every mail reduction kit purchase.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s some more inspiration to help you kick the catalogs:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>100 million trees are cut down each year to create the approximately 4.5 million tons of junk mail in the United States</strong></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>28 billion gallons of water go into the production of American junk mail annually</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Okay, I&#8217;m sold, but I&#8217;m keeping my J.Crew and Anthropologie catalogs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/vicsec.jpg" />Fashion Week Daily reports that <strong>Victoria&#8217;s Secret is going green with it&#8217;s </strong><font size="-1"><strong>ü</strong></font><strong>ber-trendy Pink line. </strong>Well, not the whole line, but what they have planned is a step in the right direction. <strong>The company plans to produce a few eco-conscious mini collections, featuring tanks and t-shirts made with organic cotton, under the Pink banner.</strong>  Commenting on the inspiration for the environmentally-friendly shift (VS also recently agreed to find more sustainable alternatives for its catalog business), the company&#8217;s spokesperson said that Victoria&#8217;s Secret was responding to the concerns of it&#8217;s customers, who are &#8220;<span class="bodytext">very aware of the environment right now.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take the &#8220;right now&#8221; out of the equation and start demanding more corporate responsibility when it comes to the environment.  After all, it&#8217;s <em>our </em>dollars they&#8217;re after.</p>
