That is roughly 70 lbs per household per year. Never mind the fact that the deluge of of junk mail probably makes you crazy. It wastes an enormous number of trees and a huge amount of water.

The rise of the internet and email has in effect made direct mail campaigns an increasing gamble and an entirely unnecessary environmental insult.
