I have been thinking much the same things about the onslaught of enviro junkmail that I get. I seem to average a piece a day. I am lucky to be able to recycle it, but the amount of waste is staggering . After reading the article I went and checked out the Center for a New American Dream, and joined. As a new member of the center, I will start recruiting myself.
People know deep down inside.
Thank you, Donella Meadows, for another wonderfully written article. I had put off joining the center, and thanks to your article and your clear explanation of this organization's struggle to practice what it preaches, I'm headed to its website right now to join. Compare a 1 percent response to direct mail to the 15 percent response not uncommon to permission-based email, and you have to wonder why organizations keep on wasting paper. All rights reserved.
