Save trees and donate to Los Angeles Audubon with 41pounds.org.

41pounds.org
Los Angeles Audubon has partnered with 41pounds.org to save the environment 41 pounds at a time.  For every household that signs up 41pounds.org will contact 20-35 direct mail companies to remove that household from marketing (junk mail) databases. The service will eliminate between 80% - 95% of a household’s junk mail and specified catalogs and lasts for 5 years. The cost to each participant is $41. That’s just 2 cents a day, or $ 8.20 a year. For each household that signs up and designates Los Angeles Audubon as a beneficiary, 41pounds.org will donate $15 to us. So sign up now at www.41pounds.org before the onslaught of Christmas catalogues, save more trees for our birds, and generate a donation to Los Angeles Audubon while doing it.
