Sick of junk mail flooding your mailbox (not the virtual ones. the real ones)? Red Dot Campaign is encouraging Canadians to unite! and stop the junk mail madness, already! It gives simple suggestions to become junk mail free and as an added bonus, the number to call to get off phone-call lists.

And speaking of phonecalls, here’s a tip: you know when the phone rings, and there’s a pause before you get connected to the telemarketer? Someone (a credible source) told me that if you repeatedly press the # key (or is it the *?) it will mess up the system so your phone number gets taken out. Give it a try. If nothing else, there’s something satisfying about it.
