Junk Mail :( By Jack Rissanen

    People chop down 100,000,000 (100 Million) trees a year to turn it into junk mail. Those 100 Million Trees are wasted every year. Imagine stacks of all of that mail in your house? You wouldn't be able to fit it all in.

     Junk Mail is mail from credit cards, anonymous letters etc. SPAM IN EMAILS COULD SAVE THE WORLD. It is not good that trees are being chopped down. Have you seen the movie The Lorax? Take a look at their world and see how many trees there are. Ink is wasted too. Imagine how many dyes are wasted.

   4.3 M tons out of 5.6 M tons of mailings are thrown away each year in the United States! About 340,000 garbage trucks are needed to carry the junk mail thats not recycled!
