Recently, I read an article in our local Church of the Brethren of Manassas VA newsletter, regarding how much good it would do the environment if junk mail was eliminated. So I took that information and added a bit of my own, thinking that most people, whether they have just purchased a house in the suburbs, or live in a farm in Nokesville, would love to see less paper in their mail.
Ever see the episode of Seinfeldt where Kramer, in his city apartment, decides to “opt out” of mail? He does everything; contacts the post office, closes off his physical mail box, everything he can think of to get out of receiving all that paper on a daily basis.

So, join my family and me in helping the environment, and de-cluttering my home in the process!(Source: www.idealbite.com)
