Someone I respect put me on to it. It does mean holding on to the address label part of each catalog you get. I batched them and opted out as a group.

Matt Damon promoted the organization, which, of course, made me sure that it was brilliant. But seriously it does seem like a good little thing to join. The only down side is you don't get free address labels in the mail anymore from St. Jude's Hospital or whatever other non-profit bought your name.
