+ add your ownOne person says that junk mail provides jobs so it is not much of a problem to just spend ten seconds opening the mail. Well, telemarketing provides jobs to but if one is not interested in the product one should have a choice in the matter. My life is not predicated in providing jobs for other people who are annoying me and using valuable resources that only a small percentage of people respond to.
Then there are the freebie newspapers in town--a friend moved away and asked them not to deliver the paper any more as no one lived in the home. No matter how many times the paper was asked to stop delivery, well that was just not possible. The weekly paper would pile up in the mail box so that was removed so the newspaper was then dumped on the front porch. People had to go over and dispose of the paper so that others would not know that the home was unattended.
Right EMC in Smiths Falls, Ontario, Canada. People can get their homes broken into if on vacation and that sort of thing but that does not deter them-just dump it week after week after week!
Thanks!
Thank you
Done. Thanks.
Thanks for the article.

Hemp not Trees please!!! We do not need to deforest and leave animals homeless to read books. Hemp books! Hemp paper please!!

Thanks. Some of the junk mail I get is useful (store sale papers, coupon packets) but the rest of it (credit card offers, solicitations, etc.) is useless and a big waste. Everytime I see a wad of junk mail in my mailbox I always think to myself, "Another forest of trees screams out in agony."
Great idea...Help save and protect mother Earth..
