Question

Is it wasteful to order a whole bunch of catalogs from the Internet then when I get them just toss them away?

Answer 1

If you're online already, just order straight from the internet and leave the catalogs out of it!

Answer 2

Absolutely! Most of those garbage-bound catalogs likely have their own websites; browse items online instead of wasting paper.

Answer 3

I assume you are joking since anyone with half a brain would know the answer to that without having to ask.

Answer 4

I hope you recycled those catalogs.

Answer 5

It's really dumb.  Why would you order a catalogue from the internet when you can view the products directly on your computer?  Like waiting for snail mail?

Answer 6

Whether or not you recycle the paper, it is a total waste of resources. There is no need for paper catalogers today, for anyone with access to the web.

Answer 7

No

Just throw them in the regular trash. Putting them in the recycle box actually uses more carbon. Regular trash is sorted anyway.

Actually by ordering catalogs you have given life to many trees which would never had been plkanted otherwise.

Give life to a tree use paper.

Answer 8

Yes. Recycle.
