DoNotCall: It’s not eliminating paper, but those annoying telemarketing calls are still clutter. To stop most of them, contact the National Do Not Call Registry, managed by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, at 888-382-1222 or DoNotCall.gov. (It does not cover calls from political organizations, charities and telephone surveys, as well as companies where you have an existing business relationship.) You can register up to three phones, including mobile phones. It takes up to 31 days to be effective, but is permanent.
