These folks pile lies on top of lies... especially when the entire premise can't be questioned - placed off limits by declaring 'the facts are beyond dispute'

What idiots. Junk mail is either recycled or put in a landfill. In either case, the bulk of the carbon that the tree respired in the form of CO2 is locked into a solid form therefore reducing the presence of greenhouse gases. What about the tree? The managed forests that supply the paper are replanted. Clear cutting old growth forests and not replanting would of course put more CO2 in the air, especially if the wood is burned. So according to their nonsensical GWT the environment is bettered if you waste paper.
I can't wait until this BS is finally debunked and Hansen and his stupid pronouncements go away.

Better be careful. How far do you think breaking is down the line? Just think of all the CO2 we produce.

The answer is breathing.....
Coming in second is drinking beer and cokes. All, that is all, the entrained CO2 making the fizz carbonates the atmosphere when released.
Beer and cokes must go

For junk mail, write “DECLINED” on it and put it back in the post. It will stop a lot of it.

Just thought this might interest you, if you didn’t see it already.
Another aspect to consider in our recent discussion about the USPS.

I saw that the price of the Sunday NYT is 5 dollars. What a joke. Who on Earth pays 5 bucks to read that crap?
