Get rid of junk mail and help the environment
When you think about the massive amounts of junk mail we get (I think I get more junk than regular mail), how many trees are cut down for that? How many mail carriers are making disability claims because they’re crippled from junk catalogs and crap we don’t even want? Okay, I don’t really know if junk mail’s claimed any casualties yet, but it’s a waste.
* Stop Junk Mail — The junk mail Americans receive in just one day is not only a nuisance, but could produce enough energy to heat a quarter of a million homes! If you saved up all the unwanted junk mail for one year, you would have the equivalent to one and a half trees, which would add up to 100 million trees every year in just the United States. To help stop junk mail, write to: Mail Preference Service, Direct Marketing Association, 11 West 42nd St., PO Box 3861, New York, NY 10163-3861. By writing to them, you can reduce junk mail by up to 75%. You can recycle the rest of the junk mail you receive.
