Are you wasting precious time sorting through junk mail, much of which is tossed unopened?

    Junk mail isn’t just a time sink and nuisance. It also causes waste and greenhouse gas pollution.
     One hundred million trees are ground up each year for unsolicited mail in the United States, according to The Center for a New American Dream.  

     Making junk mail and disposing of it is estimated to use as much energy as almost three million cars and wastes 25-28 billion gallons of water every year. 
    Cutting down on your junk mail will conserve trees and water and will prevent carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere.
    There are various organizations that make it easy for you to reduce your junk mail about 80-95%. 
    The  Environmental Protection Agency suggests you write or visit the web page of:
Mail Preference Service
Direct Marketing Association
P.O. Box 282
Carmel, NY 10512
web page: www.dmaconsumers.org/cgi/offmailing
    Or you can easily select catalogs that you no longer want to receive at http://www.catalogchoice.org.  
    You can also obtain help and information at:

    The few minutes it takes to greatly reduce your junk mail will be less than the time sorting through it!
