There will be music, snacks, good people, and of course it's all for a wonderful cause knowing your work and time directly assisted Eco Encore's mission.

Save time! Save trees! Save the planet! Did you know that more than 100 million trees are destroyed each year for junk mail? Plus 28 billion gallons of water and enough energy to power more than 9 million cars?! When we stop junk mail and catalogs, we keep trees in the forests doing what they do best – providing oxygen for us to breathe and absorbing C02 to keep our planet cool and healthy. That’s why we’re partnering with 41pounds.org to stop junk mail and raise money for Eco Encore. For $41 (just $8.20 a year, or 2 cents a day), the 41pounds.org service does all the leg-work to reduce your junk mail and catalogs by 80-95% for five years -- and donates $15 to Eco Encore. When you sign up, 41pounds.org will contact 20-35 direct mail companies to remove your name from their distribution lists. This includes almost all credit card applications, coupon mailers and magazine offers, plus any catalogs you specify. It’s that simple! I hope you’ll sign up at www.41pounds.org to stop your junk mail or call 866-417-4141 right away! |
