Green Dimes- New Name
Greetings from GreenDimes, where this month we unveil a new name…
“GreenDimes by Tonic” is becoming Tonic MailStopper
Today, we are officially changing the name of GreenDimes to Tonic MailStopper. Nothing else about your service has changed – same company, same service- just under the MailStopper name. When you go to greendimes.com, you’ll be redirected to mailstopper.tonic.com – and other than a new logo, you’ll hardly notice the difference.
Why the change? Tonic (which began as GreenDimes back in 2006) just re-launched a new and improved online experience– and with a whole new universe of Tonic users who don’t know who GreenDimes is, we’re changing the name to make it clear what we do, and to highlight that we’re part of the same company. (You have to dig way back in GreenDimes history to know that the “dimes” came from our original pricing plan, which was a dime a day; we wanted a name that more readily communicated what the service delivers.) MailStopper is part of Tonic’s vision of enabling effortless activism: by providing content that inspires, products that support worthy causes, and services that make it easy to do good in the world.
Fundraising pilot: what a response!
We were blown away by the response from so may of you to the fundraising pilot invitation we sent out with last month’s newsletter. More than 300 of you responded, and the refrain was loud and clear: you want to support your schools and other non-profit organizations with something more inspiring than wrapping paper and cookie dough. And MailStopper gift cards fit the bill, especially with Earth Day around the corner.
We’ve got a few dozen schools and other organizations already committed to the pilot, and we’re hearing about some really great ways that schools are combining the fundraiser itself with educational programming wrapped around it (no wrapping paper pun intended.)
We are so excited about this opportunity that we’ve decided to expand the pilot, which will run during the months of April and May. Interested? .
This month’s newsletter is brief, as we’ve got a lot going on – but stay tuned for next month’s edition, which will be full of tips, updates, and information for all of you. And if we can help, as always, drop us a line at our new email address:. Our old email address will still work, too.
Fighting the good fight,
Great topic here.
Work of many people on this issue of plastic, there are several plastic materials recycling organic-based view. In February, for example, Imperial College London and bioceramic drug polymer biodegradable plastic from sugar derived from the decay of lignocellulosic biomass. There is also an existing plant more corn starch and plastics based on paper, including household goods and food packaging, bioplastics toys, plastic dynamic Cereplast. Metabolix also several lines of plastic products from corn, in cooperation with partner companies.
The service of Green Dimes in the old days when there was a list of magazines from which one could chose was excellent. The magazines I didn’t want stopped coming.
In my opinion, the new service doesn’t work. I did what I was told and the magazines keep on coming. I am very disappointed and don’t know what to do. My old trick of sending change of post cards to magazines with a bad address no longer works because the post office no longer offers post cards. Does anyone have a suggestion about how to stop unwanted magazines?
