Paper Conservation - End Junk Mail

April 20th, 2008

boreal forestUnopened mail creates a lot of waste. In fact, a recent Canadian Marketing Study quoted in the Flyer Distribution Standards Association newsletter suggests that:

• 67% of Canadians are not interested in the flyers and advertising that comes in the mail

• 25% of Canadians discard them without reading

In the US, the problem is even worse. The Forest Ethics website (www.forestethics.com) reports that junk mail distributed in the US accounts for 30% of the mail delivered in the WORLD, and that 44% of it goes into landfills unopened.

Some of the paper used in producing these ads comes from the Canadian boreal forest, which is being logged at a rate of 2 acres per minute, 24 hours a day to produce junk mail and other paper products. READ MORE

    Did you post a few of these things on another blog? That one post looked very familiar. Maybe I saw something about it on the news?

  28. February 15th, 2009 at 18:31 | #28

    I don’t usually reply to posts but I will in this case. I’ve been experiencing this very same problem with a new WordPress installation of mine. I’ve spent weeks calibrating and getting it ready when all of a sudden… I cannot delete any content. It’s a workaround that, although isn’t perfect, does the trick so thanks! I really hope this problem gets solved properly asap.
