Save the trees!!
How many trees must be sacrificed to ensure that we get our christmas catalogues?
Today stuffed in my mailbox, I found dozens of catalogues from Myer, David Jones, Coles, Action, Kmart, Target.. you name it I have it. I even have an AVON catalogue I found in my mailbox. How irritating. I have no money to spend anyways when I look at these catalogues. Why are the trees being sacrificed for commerce? None of it is recyclable. It’s all glossy, which means of course that it has be turfed n the regular bin. The paper is almost like plastic these days anyway.
I’m getting tired of all the junk mail, even my neighbours are starting to get sick of it, on Monday afternoons, you see piles of paper piled up on the ground. I’ve had to put alot of it in the bin, no one else will. We get the next round of junk on Thursdays, in time for Thursday night shopping, and then a 3rd round on Friday, for Saturday shopping. I’d invest in a no junkmail sign.. but I am strangely compelled to look in case there is something totally cool that I need. Or that the catalogue tells me I need.
Do I really fall the junkmail? No.. but damn sometimes it’s good to just read the crap before turfing it in the bin, just to see what there is in the world that I might buy.
Save some trees. Go view the catalogues on the web.

Maybe you can buy say, 5 “No junk mail” signs and attach them to your neighbours letterboxes, forcing them to come to you for their junk mail fix. This would save trees and you would be famous for throwing the best BBQ junk mail parties in the neighbourhood.
You could just put up a sign and secretly steals your neighbours junk mail, only to replace it the next day with coffee stains.
