How to stop junk mail and SPAM!

I don't know you, but I'm willing to bet you get junk mail. With more than 110,000 tons of junk mail each year in North Carolina, that's a lot of waste that goes straight into the landfill. Rather than send all the junk mail to the landfill, stop it at the source!

The North Carolina Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance has some great steps to take that will dramatically reduce the volume of junk mail you receive in the mail. Check out their tips at:

Junk emails (a.k.a. SPAM) also has a direct impact on the environment by overburdening computer servers that use lots and lots of energy. Some good tips for limiting junk mail can be found at:
