The Seattle City Council is voting today on a resolution urging the Washington State Legislature to establish a Do Not Mail registry. Seattleites would have the option to opt out of unsolicited direct mail, similar to the “do not call” registry for telemarketing.
If you'd like your voice to be heard, today is the day to contact the following councilmembers:
Councilmember Sally Clark: (206) 684-8802, sally.clark@seattle.gov
Councilmember Tom Rasmussen: (206) 684-8808, tom.rasmussen@seattle.gov
Councilmember Sally Bagshaw: (206) 684-8801, sally.bagshaw@seattle.gov
You can also attend the meeting in person at 2pm today at City Hall, 600 4th Ave. 2nd floor.
Sustainable Seattle has done a great job detailing the issue and providing information here.
"Seattle ratepayers are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars more in our trash bills to dispose of those industries' waste. Not to mention the 200,000 trees cut down each year just for Seattle for paper nobody wants," the website says.
You can read the resolution here.
