Hi guys and gals,
This is my first posting! I felt inspired to share a message that I recently send to Rogers (the phone/cable company). I hope that you might like to send a similar one if you are with Rogers and feel the same. Here is the message:
I have recently received an invoice from Rogers. The new format used to fold the bills (folded only once) necessitates a larger then typical envelope size. I wish to complain that this new format is an unnecessary waste of paper and other resources. I have already switched to email billing but I fret that there is most likely a huge number of people still receiving the paper bills. Could you please provide me with the reasoning behind the change in format and also the paper provider used by Rogers (i.e. virgin paper / recycled paper)?
See ya,
Celina

Re: reducing paper waste - junk mail
Hey Celina,
Thanks for posting - welcome to relocalize.net!
Here's a message I got from the Vancouver Sustainability Network:
A few Vancouver sustainability instigators have just launched the Red Dot Campaign - Canada Post will honour your wish to have no unaddressed junk mail delivered if you place the dot on your mailbox. For info: www.reddotcampaign.ca - you can download a snazzy dot from the site. [or click here for the PDF].
Spread the word! See also Interview on CBC's Early Edition (January 31, 2008)
And a great big thank you to the campaign leaders for taking the initiative! Check them out at the Red Dot website.
Cheers,

I have heard about this campaign and I got myself a red dot! I hope it will have a strong effect.
Thanks,
