Many people recycle or trash junk mail (unaddressed direct mail) without even taking a single glance at it, which wastes paper, wastes funds companies invest in this method, wastes USPS workers' time delivering these unwanted pieces, and even wastes the receivers time -our time- because we have to sort through a lot of unwanted mail. While this may seem like a trivial issue, it is almost a daily occurrence for almost everyone all over the country. The wasted time, money, and resources quickly add up to significant amounts.



If the petition is successful everyone will win; businesses win, the environment wins, USPS wins, and the people win! There is nothing to lose but much to gain!





I hope you will be a part of this positive change!

*Would USPS lose income if they delivered to fewer people, and incur costs for operating a more complicated service? They should not, because USPS would charge more for a better, more advanced, more valuable service with a higher ROI to businesses. Having an opt-out option would narrow the direct-mail audience down to those who have indicated an interest in receiving offers, coupons, promotional info, etc. Also, there would be staff time saved on the delivery side.
