Bal Tash'hit: Preserving the Earth
The book 50 Simple Things You Can Do To Save The Earth listed
stopping unwanted junk mail as its number 2 recommendation. Some
interesting junk mail statistics from the book include:
Each year, 100 million trees are used to produce junk mail; 250,000
homes could be heated with one day's supply of junk mail; and
Americans receive almost 4 million tons of junk mail every year.
There are many excellent sites on reducing junk mail, for example
www.recycleworks.org.
This site has preformatted letters you can print out and mail to
junk mailers. Here's another good site: www.junkmailstopper.com.
