Has anyone ever heard the environmentalist view about junk mail? Tons of paper manufactured to produce junk mail. Then it is transported in planes, trains, and trucks around the country. Then, more than 95 percent of it is discarded into the trash without even being read. Then, it is picked up and hauled away in more trucks to be burned or deposited into a landfill. Without the U. S. Post Office, none of this would happen. I have never received any junk mail from UPS or FedEx.
