How many years have we seen this same plea about junk mail?
A pity most of the old outhouses are gone that junk mail could have been put to good use.
You want to change Junk Mail? Insist that the senders pay triple the price of a first class letter.
Hey. this way you save those trees not to mention all the energy expended from the cutting to the delivery then then burning or land fill.
Ah, but what do I know right?
So go ahead and keep puttiing up your same little posted pleas to stop junk mail if iit makes you feel good.
