JUNK MAIL

The problem

• Wastes trees. I estimate that I discard over 80% of my mail without even opening it.  Sure you can just recycle it, but as good as recycling is, it takes energy and it's best not to get the junk to start with.

Reduce

•  just use mp3's. Even if you want to back up your files on a CD-ROM, you can do so as data instead of making an audio CD and cram on a lot more songs.
