What’s Growing in Sustainable Design

You can stop junk mail from coming to your home or office. More than reducing your hassle from having to weed through what is pertinent or not, stopping junk mail can:

• Save Energy: Did you know that a single day’s supply of junk mail require the same energy needed to heat 250,000 homes?
• Save Resources: 100 million trees are cut down in order to produce one year’s worth of junk mail.
• Eliminate Waste: Junk mail comprises 5.8 million tons of our waste.

Stop junk mail at it’s the source. Contact the sender and ask to be removed from their mailing list.
