Junk snail mail causes more damage to our natural resources than electronic mail. Yet, we see spam as more of a problem. This shouldn't be right, should it? We can simply delete email, but paper & cellophane piles up in our backyard.
Maybe email spam gets more attention because only spammers benefit from spam, where as the USPO & paper companies benefit from junk paper mail (besides the spammers).
I would like to charge people/companies who keep sending me junk mail $500, but I don't see that happening soon.
