Junk Mail B Gone!

Take a moment today to think about the last walk you had in a shaded forest on a hot day or the forest canopy on a rainy day when you stayed dry. Now think about how full your recycle bin can be and what comes in your mailbox each day or week.

Here are things that you can do to stop some of the junk mail, additionally you can send back the address pages from the mail you do not want to get. It takes vigilance but you will feel so much better once you aren’t contributing as much to environmental degradation.
