I expect you'd be right there, but I'm told that a "NO JUNK MAIL" can give at least partial relief. There are some green organisations who even have printed-up stickers to this effect.

Junk mail is good for the economy! Someone is paying the printers (who pay their employees and suppliers etc.) and the deliverers, who then go out and spend the money on other things that pays other peoples salaries, who then also go out and spend etc.

Don't let it raise you blood pressure - I, like you I expect, keep my green bin near the door and strip out my daily postbag of all the car insurance, broadband etc. junk mail straight into the box (although my husband now insists that I remove any names and addresses, in case of identity theft!).

Actually, I quite like getting the menus through the door and I do like the occasional takeaway. It's the stuff the postman delivers that I find to be complete junk, and even the "no junk mail" sticker may not prevent that!
