June 25, 2009 Trouble viewing this email? Read it online... STOPPING JUNK MAIL Chain Mail If 10,000 Biters eliminate their junk mail, in a year we'll conserve the weight of 199 U.S. Postal Service trucks in paper. Need protection from junk mail? Jump off your mighty steed long enough to sign up for an unwanted-mail (including phonebooks) reduction service. It'll shield you from paper and energy waste, as well as major hassle. Saner knights. Each American receives almost 560 pieces of junk mail per year - more than enough to drive you batty. Armor against energy waste. The production and transport of junk mail consumes more energy than 2.8 million cars use every year. More trees for round tables. Annually, 100 million trees are used to make junk mail. More time for storming castles. Every American wastes about 8 hours per year dealing with junk mail. Jen, who hardly gets junk mail since signing up with MailStopper, hates the stuff so much that she's a little hasty with putting mail in the recycling bin - she's lost a couple bills and checks in the process.
