Stop Junk Mail

I received this pamphlet of information on how to reduce junk mail at the Green Fest in Long Beach. It was created by the Department of Public Works and it has phone numbers one can call to end junk mail, phone calls, email, and credit card offers. It also has more information about how to protect your name. Click on images to enlarge.

2nd Annual Green Long Beach Festival

Original Post Found here.

The free event will include over two dozen local entertainers, organizations and government entities that make up the "green" community in Long Beach and surrounding areas. These groups are active participants in environmental stewardship and are excited to share their practices with the public.

Bring family and friends for entertainment,workshops, booths, artists and activities! The theme of this year’s festival is “turning the tide”, celebrating the transition into becoming a more eco-friendly and sustainable city.

The purpose of the festival is to create awareness of the many resources available to help us make this transition. This public event will also serve as a place of commerce, arts and entertainment, networking, and education.
