<p>what are we suppose to do with the unwanted college catalogs? throw them in the trash and kill 8439284928 trees? multiply by the number of collegebound students. </p>
<p>i suppose there's nothing we can do but recycle :(</p>
<p>What's wrong with recycling?</p>
<p>Recycle, duh.</p>
<p>I have so much college crap, it'd seem a horrible waste of trees to do that. (/tree-hugger).</p>
<p>Non-accepted students too! Why is it always the most random places that send mail? University of [another state] Branch Campus in [tiny little town]... sigh... how can they afford it?</p>
<p>Recycling is great. But every time you put paper through the system fibers lose quality, yielding poorer-quality paper the next time around. Plus, the process itself wastes energy, expends pollution, creates chemical waste, etc.</p>
<p>i am a treehugger obviously. i just think its sad, throwing it all out. there should be a better system!</p>
<p>I'm giving my friend all of the ones that would be of any interest, which is probably like 2 lol, ones that I requested. All the ones that I got were from random places that I would never even think of applying. What annoys me more are the emails that I have gotten every day for weeks from Lambuth University, and the 5 billion other colleges in the middle of nowhere.</p>
<p>check out some other schools, they may want some catalogs, my Ds GC ask for them, as they have old ones, so they replace them</p>
<p>Or if you go to a school like mine, who doesn't have most schools on file, you could take the old brochures there so that future applicants can take a peek. It's better than throwing them out.</p>
