Did you know that most junk mail is never read? I know I don't even look at any of the fliers that come to my house. I think it is just a waste of tress and money to send unsolicited mailings, so I was very happy to find that I could easily End Junk Mail. That's right, I can stop it from coming to my house. In the future, it will cost you money to join. Right now, the first 500 people to sign up can do so for free. I went to the site to register myself, but couldn't, because they wanted credit card information, and we don't use credit cards. I did, however, find out some interesting information.
Did you know that Junk Mail Kills 100 Million Trees in the USA Each Year, and your family alone is responsible for killing an entire tree? I had no idea. I think it's a shame that this resource is being used this way, especially because junk mail serves no purpose. I know business might think you are more likely to visit their establishment if they force it in your face, but to be honest, I prefer word of mouth advertising. I have gone to one to many supposedly nice places I've seen advertised in the mail only to find out they aren't even half as nice in person.
I think that if enough people join this program to end junk mail, maybe companies will take the hint and stop sending it out altogether.
