Do you get a lot of junk mail?
Nope.
I mean the kind that arrives on paper through the able ministrations
of the U.S. Postal Service, not the kind that arrives via email. You
know, mail-order catalogs, promotions from the phone company,
requests for money from charities, that sort of thing.
Do you throw most of it away?
Nope.
Do you know how bad for the environment it is?
That will happen whatever YOU do.
Cutting down trees, manufacturing paper, manufacturing ink,
printing junk, transporting it to its recipients, and disposing
of or recycling it all add up to a huge waste.
That will happen whatever YOU do.
Do you know what a time-waster it is?
It isnt.
Looking at each piece to decide whether it's junk, opening
the ones that fool you, and discarding it all may take only
a few seconds per piece, but when you add up all those
seconds, it comes out to quite a lot of wasted time!
No it doesnt.
I was once in the same boat. Six days a week, my mailbox
was flooded with junk, which far exceeded the useful stuff,
and a day without any mail at all was simply unheard of.
Doesnt happen here.
But now, I go for weeks without seeing any junk, and our mail
carrier is spared the walk up our porch stairs at least once a week.
Dont have a porch or stairs.
Putting a stop to the junk isn't rocket science.
It takes some effort, but it's worth it.
No it isnt.
And I'm going to tell you exactly how to do it.
No you arent.
