I'd like to thank the Independent for publishing Deborah Williams' informative and inspiring Op-Ed , "Every Day Can Be Earth Day - 21 Ways to do your part and make a difference."

For example, what to do with all those catalogs that I now receive after ordering my son some surf shorts this past holiday season? Simple, go to catalogchoice.org to register and enter the names of the catalogs that I no longer wish to receive. Now I've saved some trees, and with just a few minutes of my time.
