* Junk mail in the U.S. accounts for one-third of all the mail delivered in the world
* More than 100,000,000,000 pieces of junk mail are delivered each year (that’s more than 800 pieces per household)
* The greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the manufacturing of the 6.5 million tons of paper required for junk mail annually is equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions of 3.7 million cars
* More than 100 million trees a year are cut down and made into paper for junk mail. Those trees come from endangered forests like Canada’s Boreal and Indonesia’s rainforests
