It would be nice if the EPA and FTC could work together on this one so less waste in what seems like a very ineffective method of marketing will be produced.

Without the post office there is no daily mail. Your only option would be to pay Fed-Ex or UPS $20 to deliver a letter. No more birthday cards, bills, notices. You couldn’t even mail a bill payment in. Bulk mail is a pain, but it is necessary to the survival of this country.

Regarding your last line: “And if efforts to reduce waste at the source fail, let’s recycle!” I must admit that I find it unsatisfactory that we have to resort to recycling if we “fail.” There needs to be major consideration of a national do-not-mail registry, similar to the do-not-call registry, which has saved countless family dinners from interruptions by vendors.

A national do-not-mail registry, enforceable by penalties and fees for violations, is needed in order to successfully lighten our mailboxes and save the 100+ million trees that get cut every year. The pollution from making the catalogs and from the solid waste produced can be significantly reduced as well.

I hope those of you in EPA can use your Congressional liaisons and contacts to lobby more for this. Thanks.

Many times businesses will pay another company to handle their mailers and many times the bulk mailing means more money for them , so they wont screen their lists.
