I was considering that phenomena one day. I live in a 7 unit
apartment building. Even that small number, in one week, accumulates a
very large pile of junk mail. And that is only what gets left in the
common bin. Not what people collect from there personal boxes.
I began to wonder what kind of tonnage would be involved if one were
to measure a weeks worth of that crap across the entire US.
It a bit frightening... Seems it should be stopped by law somehow.
It's one small source (compared to all trash) that could be done away
with easily.
