July 28th, 2009
"We want a simple, fast, effective way that any American can put there name on a list and stop receiving the junk mail that they don't want," said Francisca Rivera, a volunteer with Forest Ethics in Chicago.
Forest Ethics is an environmental group based in California has started the Do Not Mail Campaign to help a Do Not Mail Registry law pass.
"A lot of other issues that affect climate change like the car you drive or energy efficiency improvements in your home are really expensive and difficult solutions, and that's why a junk mail registry is so popular because it's easy. That's the easiest thing you can do to affect climate change on a personal level," Rivera said.
