Some junk mail is really pretty. Marketing companies use glossy paper and bright inks to attract our attention, as they know that eye candy is a big part of selling.
In the past, I’ve used junk mail, newspapers and leaflets as wrapping paper. It can look great if you manage to choose an image that is suitable for the recipient. On one particular occasion, I managed to find a lovely picture of a place Mr Green and I had been on holiday which really added to the excitement of his present.
Robert, over at the Stop Junk Mail campaign, and creator of Junkbuster, has been busy with his junk mail too. He’s been fashioning it into unique, handmade envelopes for reuse!
We all know that stopping at source is the best option (Reduce), but for those pesky items that still find their way through your letterbox, Reuse is the next best, before finally, recycling it.
A set of five envelopes, randomly picked by Robert costs £1. While you’re there, you can grab some letterbox stickers and envelope reuse stickers too!
