Discussion points:
- Defining Junk Mail: unaddressed pieced of mail or unsolicited advertising inserts in newspapers.
- Direct Marketing keeps people employed and generates business.
- Large quantities of junk mail are dropped in the waste bins, not all of it is recyclable.. add the impact of the colours, chemicals..
- A lot of fresh water is used in the process of recycling.
- Follow the money to find out - Canada Post has a large chunk of it's revenue generated from distributing junk mail.
- On the other hand, Canadians care about the environment.
- How can we get Direct Marketing go all green - ideas, spam??
- Why is our government (actually all levels of it) still protecting this dirty business?
- Paul Bies, from Mistique.Ca agrees that junk mail (according to the definition above) should be banned.
- Ray Glowa from GreenAgeMedia urges us to do something about it.

Solutions suggested:
- Ban Junk Mail - everyone agrees.

Stop Bell Canada admail and promotional offers

I emailed privacy@bell.ca a few years ago, and told them to stop sending all addressed admail to this address and stop calling the number with sales pitches. I even got a reply from someone acknowledging my request. Havent had a call or any junkmail from Bell since.

On my Bell phone line invoice it shows this.
"Telemarketing Exclusion Code - $0.00"

The only trouble with that one is that it expires after I think it's 2 years. I made it plain when I contacted the exec office that I didn't want anyone calling as long as my name was associated with that phone number!

why is Bell the only company to charge its customers a fee for receiving a bill?

How can I Stop Bell Canada admail and promotional offers ??
