Cutting Down on Junk Mail

Mail Modernize your life by taking control of your stuff. Monitoring the mail you receive is a great way to cut down your clutter. You’ll have less to dispose of, you’ll feel less overwhelmed, and you’ll take a step towards helping to save our environment.

A little help

EarthShare’s partner, 41pounds.org, can help you rid your life of all that waste by contacting 20 to 30 direct mail companies on your behalf to stop the majority of your bulk mail. For each person who signs up for their service here, 41pounds.org donates more than 1/3 of the $41 fee to EarthShare and they’ll stop your junk mail for five years. The service covers your entire household, even if you move, get married or change your name, and they guarantee it. Simplify your life and help us reach our goal of raising $5000 by helping to erase junk mail from the planet – share this tip with a friend!

With just a few minutes and $41, you’re finished — for five years! You can sit back and enjoy the benefits —


The benefits

  • Save trees. More than 100 million trees are destroyed each year to produce junk mail. 42% of timber harvested nationwide becomes pulpwood for paper.
  • Reduce global warming. The energy used to produce and dispose of junk mail exceeds 2.8 million cars.
  • Save water. About 28 billion gallons of water are wasted to produce and recycle junk each year.
  • Save time. You waste about 70 hours a year dealing with junk mail.


Plus, 41 pounds will donate to an important environmental charity of your choice. Choose from Earth Share member charities and other important organizations.
