BAN JUNK MAIL!
Almost all of the mail received in my actual mail box is "Junk Mail"
Unrequested and unnecessary flyers and advertisements that just get tossed straight into the recycling bin.
A waste of trees and additional pollution added by the ink and coloring printed on them.

Canada Post will already honour signs posted on your mailbox that say "No Bulk Mail". If you get unwanted mail that is addressed to you, Canada Post is required to deliver it. However, if it has a return address, simply cross out your address, write RTS (Return To Sender) on it, and drop it back in a mailbox. Many marketing companies will remove your address from their mailing list, since they have to pay when materials are returned.

I agree... one easy first step to contribute to this cause is to encourage everyone to send their junk mail to Ottawa. Mailing to MPs is free so if we overload their mailboxes with junk, they might get the message and do something to change policy on junk mail!
