"If you are like me, you get a lot of junk mail. On average, people in the U.S. receive 560 pieces of junk mail every year. That means every household receives unsolicited mail equal to 1.5 trees every year -- over 100 million trees for all U.S. households" - Spokane City Councilwoman Amber Waldref in a email this week urging citizens to support a non-binding resolution she has brought forth to the Spokane City Council urging the State of Washington to establish a "Do Not Mail" Registry.

The Spokane City Council will vote on this on Monday, May 3rd during the Legislative Meeting which takes place at 6 p.m. in the City Council Chamber.  "It's about consumer choice, environmental protection and fiscal responsibility," Waldref continues in her email.
