We get catalogs from four companies all the time and although they normally go straight into the recycle bin I wondered what the actual quantity was. So I've saved them for the last two months and just weighed them.
4.4 lbs OAT (Overseas Adventure Travel)
4.1 lbs Lindblad/National Geographic
3.6 lbs Viking River/Ocean Cruises
3.2 lbs Tauck
Note that this is just for the past two months.
We've gone with both Lindblad and Viking a few times, and have an upcoming trip scheduled with both OAT and Tauck, but it shows that once they get your mailing address they will kill as many trees as it takes to get you onboard.
