This is how much junk mail we recieve in our letter box in ONE DAY.  We get this volume of junk FOUR DAYS a week.

Now, lets say on average we receive twenty pieces of junk mail 4 days a week.  That’s EIGHTY pieces of junk mail a week.  I filled over HALF our recycle bin last fortnight with junk mail ALONE.. that was before bottles and jars and other recyclables.

It gets worse then Christmas gets closer than it is now.  Think.. this is week one of December.  By the time we get to a week before Christmas, we get this volume SIX DAYS of the week.  And there’s usually 5five or so more catalogues along with the usual twenty or so.

It’s a waste.  We are of the low income bracket and thus we VERY RARELY buy anything because we see it in a catalogue.  Out of that  lot you see in the picture that I retrieved from the letterbox, we will use ONE thing.. the Eagle Boys pizza voucher.

When retrieving it out of the letter box there were ants everywhere and upon closer inspection I saw the remains of a poor lizard that got crushed under the weight of all that paper and ink and plastics.
