Snail Junk Mail

With everybody using email for over a generation, it’s rare people will actually send each other letters. Taking a cue from email junk-mail, it seems mailmen are still delivering the same amount of mail volume wise. The new volume is mostly advertising in nature and which end up in your recycling bin. They clutter mailboxes  all across North America and are big business for printing companies. It seems it is growing each year. Who really looks at them, straight to the recycling bin they will end up and most likely the wind will pick them up from the bins and spread the good word from your local company trying to sell you useless products. The norm now is to send free samples of products as mailmen have become door to door salesmen for corporate companies. Frequently you recycle more catalogs you will never look glance at and shred unwanted credit card offers.
