Unsolicited mail

Junk mail jams my shredder... on rainy days.
Starts camp fires other days.
When you don't ask for something to be sent in the mail, you should not get it in the mail. Mail is private. Unwanted mail is invasion of privacy.

Those 20-30 seconds add up day after day. And it's not necessary.

x2. Hard to argue with that.

The medical profession can't seem to stop using paper. Every time I get a prescription, I then get 6 pages of junk about my transaction.

There's so much more in life to worry about. It's junk, throw it away.

Like I said already, obvious junk gets trashed instantly. It's the stuff that tries to look legit that needs a little more attention.

When we used to get a lot of unwanted mail, I'd put it all in stack, then open it, and put a different companies mail in someone else's return envelope. And I made sure I stuffed enough in it so it weighed more than one ounce causing them to pay additional return mail postage. Doing that and making a few calls on catalogs, I now get almost no unwanted mail. Never had a problem with Camping World after making a phone call to them.

I like that idea!!! Hope it works, otherwise it's just more time wasted!

Well consider for a moment this: Take all the junk mail from Good Sam and multiply it by credit card companies, seed companies, useless companies with "Vermont" in their name trying to sell you almost anything, then all of the junk mail you get from AARP (which is the worst hands down). Now think about that being multiplied MILLIONS of times.

Most of it is unwanted and millions of tons of it goes into our landfills and waste streams. This is to say nothing of the trees that are used to make all of this unwanted junk. And the fuel used to transport it from printer to mailing center to your house (and this doesnt include all the fuel used while making and transporting all of that paper.

Now think about this: all of that cost is borne by the CONSUMER when buying almost any product and it's BILLIONS and BILLIONS of added cost to us all.

Now I think we need MUCH MORE complaining about junk mail than we have now. It would be better for all of us (to say nothing of the planet)if we could cut it by just 25% or more.
