Mail out
What
Maybe there are some people out there who are dying to know about the latest tandoori chicken takeaway offers in their neighbourhood or yet another credit card promo. We don't know, we don't want to generalise. But the estimated 2.7 billion pieces of junk mail in the UK1 which slide through our collective letter boxes are a real nuisance and an eye sore, not to mention taking their toll on Mother Nature too!
Why
We all know that paper comes from trees, and those leaflets are no exception. They come through our door, often to be thrown straight into the bin. That translates into a lot of graceful 30 year old trees being felled2 for no reason at all.
How
This is a super-duper easy action!
- Register with Mail Preference Service and they will take you off all the direct mail industry databases. Don’t worry, you will still get the mail you want, just no more junk! Just sign up here. (Note it can take about 4 months for it to have its full effect)
- If you still get the odd bit of junk mail, make a direct complaint on the MPS website.
- Put a ‘No Junk Mail’ sticker on your letterbox to stop the flyers. It might not work 100% of the time, but hey it’s a start.
