Do you like Junk Mail?

This post was inspired by Konnie McKee. Thanks for the idea. I hope this will be the helpful guide you were looking for.

Do you think that there is a junk mail a problem in the United States?

Here is the math...

• Mailed: 5.56 million tons
• Recycled: 1.23 million tons (22%)
• Garbage: 4.33 million tons

Nearly 32 pounds of paper and plastic go into the garbage for every woman, man and child in America. That's a pretty sizable "junk mail" problem!

If you are tired of getting junk mail, there is something that you can do about it. The following is an option. I also have a link to a site with more helpful suggestions.

Register your address with the Direct Marketing Association (DMA). The DMA has a Mail Preference Service. You can get off many of the mailing lists and substantially reduce your junk mail.

This is link to a site to help you do it yourself.
