The mission of Catalog Choice is to improve the efficiency of catalog distribution by reducing the number of repeat and unsolicited mailings, and to promote the adoption of sustainable industry best practices.

We aim to accomplish this mission by providing this free service to consumers and businesses. Consumers can create a private account, indicating which catalogs they no longer wish to receive in the mail. Businesses can secure a merchant account to receive a list of consumers that no longer want to receive catalogs in the mail.

Nearly half of the planet’s original forest cover is gone today. Forests have effectively disappeared in 25 countries, and another 29 have lost more than 90% of their forest cover.

If steps aren’t taken to protect them, rainforests around the world could disappear within 40 years.

Covering less than 2% of Earth’s surface, rainforests are home to more than half of the world’s plants and animals.

More than 1 billion people living in extreme poverty around the world depend on forests for their livelihoods.

Deforestation contributes between 20% and 25% of all carbon pollution causing global climate change.

The production and disposal of direct mail alone consumes more energy than 3 million cars.

Over eight million tons of trees are consumed each year in the production of paper catalogs.
