I was peddling my way to the recycling back the other day with a collection of junk mail and some old telephone directories, when I passed Bertram out for his morning walk.

I was sweating a bit because you know how heavy paper is and there’s quite a long climb up to the recycling bank.

Anyway, Bertram told me that he knew a way that I could save a few of those beads of sweat.  He’d come across this website called junkbuster.org.uk which helps you to send messages to six services that deliver junk mail or paper directories asking them not to deliver to your address. What a great idea!

When I checked out the website myself it said that 12,657 households have signed up saving 99,888 tonnes of  unwanted junk mail per year.  Now, that’s a lot of trees, I reckon.
