This week for Monday Matters, it was time to reduce the number of trees our mailbox is eating!!! In other words, reduce junk mail. How I love that idea. Several suggestions were made for doing this. However, I have to admit I have only managed to contact one junk mail contributor (Exede internet) to be removed from their list. It was a time consuming ordeal. Ironically, the first time I called them, our connection was lost and I had to call back. Both times involved lengthy waits on hold. However, the second time, I did manage to get the job done and they were friendly enough about.
One thing about this activity is that I have a new awareness of where our junk mail is coming from and who it is addressed to. And guess what? It isn't mine. At least the round of it this week was addressed to my husband, my son, and my step-son. But it comes from all over the place: Dish, DirectTV, the Marines, colleges. Oh, yes, and let's not forget one of them was even advertising razors.
