Snowed under with Junk MailMarketers say they use junk mail because it's cheap. But this begs the question - "cheap for whom?"

While taxpayer subsidies to the logging and fuel industries might indeed allow advertisers to stuff your mailbox for mere pennies on the pound, the fact is that junk mail exacts a heavy cost on Americans' quality of life and on our environment.

Junk mail may seem as American as apple pie, but it doesn't have to be. We can stop the flood of useless Junk Mail.

Get Off the Junk Mail Lists

41 Pounds LogoNew American Dream has partnered with an organization called 41pounds.org who promises to completely remove you from up to 95% of the junk mail lists by contacting each organization from which you receive mail and/or catalogs for a one-time fee of $41.

As if removing your contact information from the junk mail lists isn't enough, they'll also be donating approximately 50% of their fee to the New American Dream junk mail campaign! What are you waiting for? Click here to begin the process with 41pounds.org and help our campaign!
