Green Living Tip #3 - Reducing Your Junk Mail
How to STOP what's coming to you now
1. Contact the company directly and as them to remove your name and address from their mailing lists.
2. Mail that says "address correction requested" or "return postage guaranteed" can be returned unopened to the sender by writing "Refused - Return to Sender" on the envelope.
3. If there is a postage paid envelope inside, detach your mailing label frm the envelope, attach it with a note asking them to lelete your name and then mail it back to the sender. They will have to pay for the postage.
4. If you are overwhelmed and can't find the time to do any of the above steps then please, do the right thing and RECYCLE!
Around 62 million trees and 25 billion gallons of water are used to produce a typical year's worth of junk mail in the United States. That is over 80 pounds per household or close to a tree's worth.
