The problem with Greendimes is that they are exploiting consumer nusances, and leveraging the "green" movement to make a buck. They use environmental concern and charitable goodness as an alternative to traditional marketing. They have no measurable impact on the amount of mail sent and produced because the marketers who use these list will send their junk mail to someone who's not on these do-not-mail lists. Their meter-o-good is actually a feel good marketing farce.
That 5 million dollars greendimes is "giving" away, came from a venture capital group, and you can be sure they want a return on their "investment". That return has nothing to do with the number of people on some do-not-mail list, its about the "green" dollar. The more altruistic a company claims to be, makes me want to understand what's actually going on behind the scenes.
Just thought you may want to be aware....keep up the good work! Thanks....
Yes! Let's get rid of junk mail!! 41pounds.org is a nonprofit service service that stops your junk mail – including catalogs. 41pounds.org donates more than 1/3 of the fee to its nonprofit partners such as StopGlobalWarming.org, American Forests and Habitat for Humanity chapters. It costs only $8.20 a year (2 cents a day). You can check it out at www.41pounds.org.
GreenDimes here,
Thanks for the amazing write-up. We've seen great responses from our 5 million campaign.
As for anonymous commentor, we've always been open that we're not a non-profit, but we are trying to create a brand where if you think of greendimes or tonic, you know a good chunk of your money goes toward something good. i think that's pretty cool.
41pounds--don't get me started. At least greendimes admits their bottom line is the buck. It was a lot more fun when you both traded barbs about neither of you being a non-profit. 41pounds is espousing that they are a non-profit....you copied greendimes with the treeplanting and then when you relized they were eating your lunch you re-invented yourselves as a non profit(which your not) in order to take advantage of the do gooders and real non-profits ...don't get me started.
