Environment: What Can I Do?
Don't Go Postal
The easiest way to immediately have less impact on the environment is to pay your bills electronically. According to 'Time,' if every home in America did this, solid waste would be cut by 1.6 billion tons a year and greenhouse-gas emissions would be slashed by 2.1 million tons per year. Your second move should be to log onto 41pounds.org, a site that contacts junk mail marketers on your behalf to eliminate up to 95 percent of unwanted mailbox clutter. The site is named for the amount of junk mail the average adult receives per year.
