I get enough every year to fuel a third world country. So what can we do about it?

Try going paperless as much as possible. Sign up for electronic statements, pay bills online etc.
You will save yourself a lot of clutter and do wonders for the environment.

Unfortunately, junk mail will always be with us in some form. Why? Because that is how a business makes money. They throw advertisements at you and hope you'll buy. 

Someone once said if "you can't beat them, join them". How then can you profit from junk mail?
I found an interesting site on just that premise. Read more

I generally did that too. Now with the mailbox cashbox program from peoplestring I can at least be compensated for my eyes. Businesses send me postal mail that I now get paid for whereas before I used to just toss them in the trash.. Other fliers and value mailers still get tossed but you can be sure I read what's in those peoplestring envelopes.

Nope, some have been conversions when I respond with a counter offer. The ones that keep emailing; I keep responding with different offers until they either get tired or drop my email address from their auto spam sender. If there is NO REPLY that automatically goes to the junk mail pile and auto deleted ~ they never get to rest in my "inbox"
