Let's Stop Junk Mail

My understanding is that any ban or restriction on junk mail would have to be put in place by U.S. Congress since direct mail goes through the U.S. Postal Service.

However, I believe a popular movement to put a “No Junk Mail” or “Addressed Mail Only” sticker on our mailboxes might be a good place to start a grassroots effort to make it stop.

The Dutch have a solution for this issue that starts with a mailbox sticker, and the requirement that mail carriers abide by the rules:

• Ja-Ja = yes, deliver unaddressed bulk mail and yes, addressed bulk mail
• Nee-Ja = no, don't deliver unaddressed bulk mail, but yes, deliver addressed bulk mail
• Nee-Nee = no, don't deliver unaddressed bulk mail, and no, don't deliver addressed bulk mail
