Our trash is converted to electricity.
Most junk mail is printed locally, so not really trucked around the country. And TV mail system is a highly sustainable model, mail truck goes to one place and drops mail for a few hundred residents.
And how much to send a birthday card or a check via UPS or FedEx?
