Talking about real mail, not e-mail. When you get advertisements and junk with postage paid envelopes, send the envelopes back to them empty =) If everybody did this, maybe they'd think twice about the amount of crap they send out =)
 

Oh nevermind - I get what you're saying. Only if the envelope is addressed to them. :)

Better yet, use other junk mail and put it in one of those prepaid business envelopes that other junk mailers give u.

You guys don't realize the amount companies spend on postage. 100 people sending them back isn't going to make a difference. 1000 people probably won't. It's a drop in the bucket.

I've worked for a company (good sized) that does direct mail. They would spend over $2 million a month in postage alone, and always turned a LARGE profit every month.

Good, then they won't mind if I return an empty envelope back to them for every mailing they send me... no problem on my part, I make dialy trips to the mail box anyway. Might also fill it with junk to make it real heavy =) I have an old deck of cards, maybe I'll start mailing them in =)
