| junk mail | 02.22.2008 |
I feel like Kramer on that episode of Seinfeld called "The Junk Mail". I am so sick of all the crap I get and it can't be good for the environment. How can I stop the mail? I am not talking about email spam/junk mail. While that is annoying, I have a killer spam filter on my server and spam rarely gets through to my inbox any more. I am talking about actual physical junk mail that clogs my mail box every single day... including the new Pottery Barn catalog that came yesterday. I also got 4 offers to refinance my house, 3 rather large catalogs, a bunch of different coupon books and just random crap that I have no use for.
I have a PO Box where I get my checks and most of my business correspondence, so all I get at my house is bills and junk. For most of my utilities, I've even signed up for paperless billing to be more environmentally friendly, but I still get swamped with garbage every single day. Tell me there is a way to make it stop!
I picked up my mail on Monday (the holiday) and here's what the box looked like when I went out to fetch the mail yesterday (Thursday):

As you can see, my postman just crams it in the box. Good thing no one sends photos to my house.

If there is anything I can do to cut down on the waste and get off of some of these mailing lists, please let me know, but I don't want that old oatmeal guy to come visit me like he did with Kramer.
