Junk Mail produces as much CO2 as 7 states combined
August 8th 2008
“A report by the group ForestEthics estimates that destroying forests to make paper for junk mail releases as much greenhouse gas pollution as 9 million cars.
Another way to look at it: Junk mail produces as much pollution as seven U.S. states combined, or as much as heating 13 million homes each winter.”
Now…how do you even compare that to states since they vary so much in size? Regardless, this is a good addition to my Lazy Environmentalist workshop I did at the Grove

Great statistic. People often forget just how much energy it takes to power up computers.
