The Day Julia Went Green

July 20, 2007 —

The day was April 20, 2007. I received an email from a good friend, Julia, telling her friends and family about an organization she heard about on Oprah called greendimes. The subject line on the email was “Going Green.”

JuliaAnother friend, Julie, replied to the email with “This is the *best* subject line of any email you have *ever* sent me” – to which Julia responded, “Don’t tell Tamara. I’ll be even more in the middle than ever………………”

You see, back in the day, there was this political divide between Julie, Julia and me. Julia and I swung politically right while Julie swung politically wrong left. It was all good.

Then we all took this quick online political quiz last year, and it showed that Julia wasn’t as right as we originally thought and Julie wasn’t as wrong left either. Those two appear to be close neighbors in the center of town – one just right of the tracks, the other just left. As for me, I seem to be the only right one left. ;)

Introducing greendimes

All that to say that Julia turned us onto a really kewl organization called greendimes. By becoming a member for $36/year (a dime a day), you click here to go to greendimes sitecan reduce your postal junk mail by up to 90%. You can also stop unwanted catalogs from being delivered to you. This, in effect, saves tons of trees and water (literally).

Check out the greendimes Web site. It keeps a running impact counter of how many pounds of junk mail have been stopped, how many trees have been planted/saved and how many gallons of water have been saved. If you become a member, this counter also shows your individual impact.

Go GREEN! (That was for you Julie.)
