I have made repeated calls to them over the past two years to stop the onslaught of their catalogs from their various stores like Real Goods, Harmony, Mind and Body, etc. Nothing seems to work. They have some marketing thing that allows your name and address to spring back to life at their will. They are the biggest hypocrites, positioning themselves as all about sustainable living, spirituality, simplicity, environmentalism...but it's a load of baloney. Check out the board of directors...all of them are corporate fat cats lining their pockets while spouting peace, love and understanding. The whole notion that a company can be green while pushing unwanted paper in your mailbox month after month is a hypocritical ludicrous joke. I will never buy from them again.

But rather than encourage excessive waste and nonbiodegradable, polluting packing materials such as styrofoam peanuts—plus your inclusion on catalog and junk-mail lists—you can make yourself heard by including a note with your online order. (This way, you can also tell if the company actually pays attention to its customers, and, thus, if it’s deserving of your moola.)

I'm about to give Gaiam a ring about their catalogs. I mean, my God, how many a month does anyone need? And they're supposed to be all about health and yoga and organics and sustainable energy and ...aughh, you've gotten me started and it's time to go to bed. You know what’s really bizarre?
