I received this today and I thought I would pass the information along.
Did you know more than 41.5 billion pieces of mail advertisements were produced and distributed in the U.S in 2005, and it took more than 100 million trees to create all this bulk mail? That’s the equivalent of deforesting the entire Rocky Mountain National Park every four months, according to www.ecocycle.org.
It is critical that we do our part by stopping junk mail at work. Reducing junk mail eliminates the problem at hand. It also has an additional benefit of reducing our waste disposal expenses, which helps lower our operating costs. Also, of course, helps preserve the world’s natural resources.
