I love getting mail! Its so fun to get a card or an invite in the mail, but what about that junk mail? The credit card offers, the ads, and remember all those campaign ads we get during election time? Annoying and very wasteful! The Do Not Mail website, which is sponsored by ForestEthics, is full of scary facts (It takes more than 100 million trees to produce junk mail in the US) and tips on how to cut down on junk mail. Please see the info below regarding the petition you can sign to request that will give Americans a choice in the amount of mail they receive. Please sign today!

Junk mail does more than waste our time and invade our privacy: it also contributes to global warming and causes the destruction of endangered forests. In 2003, Congress created the national Do Not Call Registry, the most popular consumer rights bill in history. Today, we need a comparable registry to end the onslaught of junk mail. Our goal is to establish a national registry, modeled after the landmark Do Not Call Registry, that will give us the choice to stop unwanted junk mail from entering our homes.

Please sign the petition today!
