The fate of the enviroment

The Center of a New American Dream is an interesting Web page about how to protect the planet. Also it gives us useful information and some tips to get rid of junk mail. This is an important action to take due to some facts such as:

  • 100 million trees are need to produce all the junk mail sent in a year to the American mail boxes.
  • In 2005, 5.8 million tons of catalogues and other direct mailings ended up in the U.S. municipal solid waste stream – enough to fill over 450,000 garbage trucks.
  • Less than 36% of this junk mail is recycled.
  • The production and disposal of direct mail consumes more energy than 3 million cars.
  • Hundreds of millions of dollar are wasted per year to collect and dispose of all the mail.

It may be hard to believe but it is quick and easy to stop the junk mail you receive. You can complete this simple form and automatically they will generate ready-to-send "please remove me" letters matched to the mailing lists you chose from the list.
