I suspect the Sunday edition of the New York Times alone would come close. And that is even more of a waste.

Now here is a target I could get behind reducing.

I have tried everything I know to stop my flood of junk-mail. NOTHING works. I get several pounds of paper crammed in my mailbox weekly.

Now, let’s see how many posts it’ll be before some doofus starts babbling about the 1st Abendment, or about the jobs that this garbage creates.

Probably every piece of printed paper any of us has ever seen in our lifetime has come from a huge tree farm somewhere in the northwest, so pretending it has anything to do with the primitive types hacking away in the beloved Amazon is as much of a scam as CO2 “emissions”.

That said, I hate the endless coupons, ads, and other cheap crap constantly being hawked via my mailbox. The reason this stuff exists is that is massively subsidizes the post office’s delivery of regular mail.

This on top of the massive subsidies the post office gets every year as it hemorrhages billions. Naturally, nobody has to put up with this from FedEx/UPS/DHL because they have to earn your business voluntarily instead of by gov’t fiat.

So the solution is to shut down the job-mill known as the US post office. There really is no reason for its existence.

Quick quiz:

Who knows which of mans activities produces the greatest amount of CO2?

Hint: the answer is not hard to find, and it has absolutely nothing to do with fossil fuels.

Soon these Greenmaniacs will start looking at the carbon footprint of books. When everything under the sun is eliminated for its carbon footprint, these Chicken Little's will wonder why the Earth's temperature is still going up.

Their stupidity is matched by their chicken sized brains.

If you really want to get people on board, calculate how much glo-bull warming email spam causes. Now THAT’s a cause I could get behind.

Or the heck with spam, how about the waste of electricity these flash banners use? Surely that’s contributing to man-made glo-bull warming?

Algore? Are you there? After all, you did invent the danged internet, why don’t you fix it?

peta said eating meat causes more greenhouse gasses than all cars combined - but algore said he is ‘addicted’ to meat so he can't be expected to give it up to save the planet

seems to me if these people believe that the planet is really in peril, they would all give up eating meat - and give up their pets - and boycott malls, theaters and sports arenas

but i guess that would be ‘inconvenient’

I don’t believe CO2 is a problem, as plants naturally absorb it and by doing so grow and emit oxygen.

That said, I think everyone would like to receive less junk mail. But don’t tie the two unrelated items together under the global warming hoax.

This is starting to get me angry.

These folks pile lies on top of lies...seems like just to test our gullibility level.

1 - The Greenhouse Effect is not a bad thing...without it Earth would be uninhabitable because it would be too COLD.
2 - CO2 is NOT pollution, plants consume it and produce O for us to breath, without it we would all die.
3 - CO2 comprises less .04% (less than 1/25 of 1%) of "Greenhouse Gases" (Nitrogen and Oxygen account for over 99% of "Greenhouse Gases").
4 - Respiration (predominantly exhaling) accounts for most of the CO2.

My research indicates that if all of the global warming activists would just SHUT THE HELL UP...they would reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 25 States.

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.

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.
