EMM: Get Rid of Junk Mail

The stats this week are just crazy:



  • 44% of junk mail is discarded without being opened, yet we will spend 8 months opening junk mail in our lifetime (I think that is probably double for me since Paul doesn't open any of the mail.)

  • 100 million trees are needed to produce the annual paper supply for all that junk mail


So what can we do about all this paper?

  • Ask that your name not be rented or sold anytime you enter a contest, purchase anything, and return a warranty card.

  • Contact the customer service department for any companies that are sending the junk mail.

  • Remove your name from national mailing lists (check the EMM website for links).

So how much paper can you stop from entering your house?
