Here's a little trick I've picked up. Most of the junk snail mail I receive is some sort of offer where you fill out a form and send it back using their "No Postage necessary" envelope. The companies pay the postage on these, only if they're sent back. So I usually stuff the envelope with all the crap they sent me and return it. Now, they have to pay the postage and get rid of their propaganda. And if you stuff it really full, the envelope can't fit through the automated postal sorter, and will get the manual sorted rate. Brilliant.

Hopefully this will increase the companies expenses, thereby causing them to see that sending junk mail is more expensive than it's worth. One small step for man ...
