In response to concerns that lots of you have
raised about climate change and recycling, I thought you may find
this useful. In November 2006 a new internet-based service
called www.itsmypost.com
was released. On this website consumers can regain control of
the mail they recieve. You can choose to opt out of mailings
from specific brands, whilst at the same time receive mail from
those brands that you wish to hear from.
Findings from a recent YouGov survey stated that 75% of people
would like the ability to choose which companies they wish to
receive direct mail from. www.itsmypost.com has two sign-up
options. Consumers can communicate their mailing
preference from brands by post or email. You can
register online, create a personal profile, then choose from
the lists of the top 400 mailers on the site who you DO NOT want to
receive from. You can then print off the letters, sign
them, and post them to the appropriate brands. Companies who
receive 'no mail' notifications are then obliged to comply with the
consumer's request through section 11 of the Data Protection Act
1998. Click on the link above if you are interested in
finding out more.
I continue to do all I can to campaign about Environmental
issues. If you would like to sign up to our mailing list on
climate change, please contact us
requesting to receive information, or sign up below.
