When you get ads in your phone or utility bill, include them with the
payment.
Let them throw it away. Think globally, act locally.
When you get those pre-approved letters in the mail
for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and junk like that,
most of them come with postage paid return envelopes, right? Well, why
not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in these cool
little envelopes! Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to
American
Express. Or a pizza coupon to Citibank. If you didn’t get anything else
that day, then just send them their application back! Just make sure your
name isn’t on anything you send them. Heck, you can send it back empty if
you want to just to keep 'em guessing!Eventually, the banks and credit card companies will begin getting all
their
junk back in the mail. Let’s let them know what it’s like to get junk
mail,
and best of all…THEY’RE paying for it! Twice! Let’s help keep our postal
service busy since they say e-mail is cutting into their business, and
that’s why they need to increase postage again!
Send this to a friend or two or three…or fifty…
This is a rather interesting way to make people realize. Huge nuisance factor though....and what about the ethics behind it?
Sometimes I have to wonder about the ethics of all these organizations that work to "Save the whales, environment, trees, etc." While trying to promote good for one thing, they ignore other important things.
