BACKGROUND

4. Tons of paper is wasted everyday
for mail that nobody reads and
therefore ends up in the trash.
As many as 17 trees are cut down
everyday. Ending or cutting back on
junk mail will help prevent habitat
destruction.
CUT BACK ON JUNK MAIL

5. • Trees and forests provide shelter and food for animals.
• This helps reduce levels of green house gases in the atmosphere.
• The average person receives 560 pieces of junk mail per year.
• Using 28 billion gallons of water for mail that is disposed of.
• By monitoring our junk mail we can take control of the situation.
WHY IT MATTERS

6. Websites like 41 pounds.com and direct mail.com will help eliminate junk
mail by removing your name from commercial mailing list or by calling the
company directly and asking them to remove your name from their mailing
list.
WEBSITES

7. Most people don’t know the true impact their junk mail is having on the
environment.
Together we can take a stand against habitat destruction
Because we, nor the environment itself, are invincible. Therefore, it is our
job to take care of the environment, as it takes care of us.
