Anyone interested in reducing your foot print. Here's a start. Junk Mail!
Stop Junk Mail — a Personal Nuisance & Environmental Hazard
Did my part this morning. Every little bit helps.
* Keep trees in the forest. More than 100 million trees are destroyed each year to produce junk mail. 42% of timber harvested nationwide becomes pulpwood for paper.
* Reduce global warming. The world’s temperate forests absorb 2 billion tons of carbon annually. Creating and shipping junk mail produces more greenhouse gas emissions than 2.8 million cars.
* Save water. About 28 billion gallons of water are wasted to produce and recycle junk each year.
* Save time. You waste about 70 hours a year dealing with junk mail.
