STOP YOUR JUNK MAIL and PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
“The average adult receives 41 pounds of junk mail each year. It took more than 100 million trees to create all this bulk mail – that’s the equivalent of deforesting the entire Rocky Mountain National Park every four months. Even though most junk mail can be recycled, 5.8 million tons of catalogs and other direct mailings ended up as trash in landfills or incinerators in 2005. And all this comes at a cost to our climate as well: The production and disposal of junk mail consumes more energy than 3 million cars.”
Please visit Eco-Cycle.org to find out how you and your business can stop unwanted junk mail.
