Get More from Your Mail, by Getting Less

When we open our mail boxes we quickly look thru the pile of envelopes, hoping that 1 in 10 will be a personal letter for us. A true letter, if not hand written, at least addressed with our names correctly spelled.

Most of us will stand above the trash can, dropping envelope after post card directly in, until we are left with the pertinent mail. Shaking our heads at the wasted resources, time and expense that went into the items we so quickly discard.

A few minutes of our time will let the junk mail list makers of the world know we do not desire their "pre approved line of credit", discounted new windows or packages of coupons from businesses we would never do business with. While it may be impossible to stop the unwanted mail completely, we can cut down on the amount of junk mail we waste our time and energy on.

And so be good to yourself and the environment this Valentines and spend less time above the trash can. Follow the links and see how you can get more from your mail box, by getting less.
