I can't believe all the junk mail. CapitalONE and American Express are the worst. Junk Mail "CarpetBombing" is killing millions of trees a year. The garbage can at my mailbox is always full of junk mail that people don't even read. I would say that ADVERTISING is the biggest Earth killer.

This is so true!! My boyfriend who is an environmental analyst, is trying to atleast change this in our part of the world, which is California. It'll be hard to convince these companies to change their wasteless idea of advertisement...but, if the consumers help demand changes, there won't be much of an incentive. So, what we, as consumers and concerned citizens need to do, is write (email or snail-mail) to these companies and ask them to change their ways and/or to eliminate you from their mailing list.

The sad part is that by contacting them, it proves to be a good address and will only bring more advertising. Magazine subscribtions are another scam. You pay to be advertised to and your name then gets sold to other advertisers so you can be Junk Mailed to even more.
