Sometimes it's the mundane things we live with day in, day out that sneak up and bite us -- personally, mentally, locally, globally, environmentally, financially...
But take heart, these are also some of the simplest things we can change to positively impact our own life, the lives of others and the natural world.
For example, take junk mail. We know junk mail is a pain and a drain, but do we really get just how BIG that drain and pain is?! According to ForestEthics Climate Report, American households receive more than 100 billion pieces of junk mail annually which takes more than 100 million trees to produce and creates 51,548,000 metric tons of greenhouse gases. And a whopping 44% of junk mail ends up in landfills, unopened, which contributes greatly to the hundreds of millions of dollars our state and local governments spend to remove it. Whoa! Those are crazy big consequences for an already personal nuisance that poses the more serious risk of identity theft to boot. Now that we know, we can take action -- get started with these simple tools below.
