This is a program in the US, might be a worthwhile consideration here. I get about 4 pounds of junk mail a week at my door.

Is Pedaling Enough?
Do more to slow global warming - STOP THE JUNK MAIL
Hey all you cruisers, messengers, joy riders, and just plain bike commuters! Bravo for being on your bikes - With 40% of greenhouse gases caused by transportation, bicycling is a quiet statement against the destabilization of our planet's climate. But can you do a little more to stem the tide?

How about starting your year off by cutting WAY BACK on your junk mail?

It takes 100 million trees and over 28 billion gallons of water to produce the amount of junk mail that is sent in the United States in just one year. GROSS! All those trees cut down ain't NO GOOD for our atmosphere and, of course, lots of Junk Mail equals an obscene amount of unnessecary automotive transport (and mail trucks in the bike lane...). Here's how:

Go online: www.StopJunkMail.org
Or call and request the FREE Stop Junk Mail Kit: 877-STOPWASTE (786-7927).

It takes up to 234 minutes a year to sort through daily junk mail, whereas completing a Stop Junk Mails Kit takes about 2 minutes. That's 234 more minutes to spend on two wheels. Get more info on the SFBC's Cycle and Recycle Program.
