Werkhesier--Chapter 2

P. 121/Exercise 1



According to http://www.newdream.org/, people in America spend lots of money disposing of unwanted paper waste. Americans use "more than 100 million trees' worth of bulk mail" and we could fill "450,000 garbage trucks" with this paper waste. Most of this waste is not recycled and is disposed of using taxpayers dollars. California spent "$500,000" per year disposing of those disks for free internet service. This website proposes to rid America of this waste by recycling and telling these bulk mailers that we no longer want their trash. We would all send a clear message if we would write to these various junk mailers and tell them that we want them to stop killing trees and using them to fill our mailboxes with useless trash.
