Spare That Tree!
Spare That Tree!
How many lists is
your name on? There must be plenty of lists of names in every part of the world
and they must be used to send information to millions of people. The amount of
letters ordinary people receive these days has greatly increased. A lot of the
people I know object to receiving unwanted letters. Much of the mail we receive
goes straight into the waste-paper basket. That's why most people refer to it
as 'junk mail'. It would be better for all of us if we received much less junk
mall and, as a result, saved many more trees from destruction. A lot of trees
must be wasted each year to produce mountains of junk mail. Recently, I
received a very welcome bit of junk mail. It was a leaflet urging me not to
waste paper and to return junk mail to the sender. "If we all do this," the
leaflet said, "we will reduce the number of trees being destroyed." I agreed
with every word they said, but why did they have to send me four copies of the
leaflet?
