How The Catalog Stole Christmas
Hate all those catalogs the direct marketers dump on you every Christmas season? (And, in all honesty, Charles Gibson and Falafel Bill O'Reilly's War On Christmas Sanity notwithstanding, it IS the fault of Christmas season, so far—hell, I still haven't received ONE Kwanzaa or Chanukah or Ramadan catalog yet this year—AND IT'S ALREADY DECEMBER 4TH!!! What'll I do, Bill??!!??0 comments
OK, breathe...Relief is on the way.
This is a magic button.
This button will make catalogs go away.
We've placed it here to make it easy, plus down towards the bottom of Gotham Notes' sidebar on the right is the new home for this button, which will take you to the site of Catalog Choice, which is sponsored by The Ecology Center of Berkeley, CA:
The Ecology Center provides information, tools, technical assistance, referrals, political strategies, and models for sustainable living. We address the public need for non-commercial information about ecologically sensitive practices and the numerous toxic threats to society and the environment. In addition to our Environmental Resource Center, we provide direct services including Berkeley's residential curbside recycling pickup, the three Berkeley Farmers' Markets, the Farm Fresh Choice food justice program, Terrain magazine, the EcoHouse demonstration site, and a wide range of fiscally sponsored projects.
Pick the catalogs you wish would go away, and these kind folks will contact the catalog publishers with your request to remove you from their mailing lists.
Et Voila!
Hey, we're here for you, y'know?
