Junk Mail: The Epitome of Unnecessary Waste
Junk mail annoys us, clutters our homes, and wastes time, but its impacts go beyond that: More than 100 million trees are cut down each year to produce it.

It also creates greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. Additionally, 4 million tons of junk mail a year ends up in US landfills. Take a stand against junk mail and its unnecessary cost to the climate with our tips and tricks.
