- Direct-mail advertisers are worried about the sudden desire
- among consumers to cut down on junk mail. More than 1 million
- people, an elevenfold increase over last summer, have signed
- up for the post office's preference service, which eliminates
- many third-class and sales mailings. The Direct Marketing
- Association blames the backlash on the 1989 book 50 Simple
- Things You Can Do to Save the Earth. The best seller's No. 1
- recommendation: get rid of unnecessary mail. "If only 100,000
- people stopped their junk mail," the book claims, "we could
- save about 150,000 trees every year."
