Stop the Junk! Save a Trunk!

the problem:

• More than 100 million trees' worth of junk mail arrive in American mailboxes each year---the equivalent of deforesting the Rocky Mountain National Forest 4 times per year!!! Let's stop this!A mailbox chock full of unsolicited paper material, advertisements, catalogs, postcards, coupons and miscellaneous mail, may not just intrude on your privacy, but it is also lends a hand to severe and potentially permanent environmental damage. The proliferation of unwanted junk mail produces millions of tons of paper waste for yearly delivery to our brimming landfills, causes significant losses to forests, soil and water, and contributes to the current global warming crisis that affects us now and may harm many generations to come. While junk mailers are driven by short-term profit, the rest of us are left to pay for, clean up, and suffer from this long term environmental disaster. Even beyond the long term habitat damage, hundreds of millions of our taxpayers' dollars are spent each year cleaning up the enormous waste left behind by junk mail.
