Supporting the USPS

We all get letters from credit card companies, asking us to sign up for new credit cards, etc. Well, in those envelopes, there's always a return envelope saying "no postage necessary if mailed in the united states."



I want to bring your attention to another part of that envelope ...



Do you see how it says "postage will be paid by addressee?" Well, instead of simply recycling the letters, why not send them back to the credit card companies?

That way, the credit card company's paying 60 cents or so to the USPS. Inside the envelope, put the application form or whatever with a note saying "I'm not interested, but have a good day" to the person working in the mail room of whatever company.

All this costs you is 10 seconds to find a pen and write that note and lick the envelope. What's the result of that effort?



She gets to continue to work.

A friend of mine has been doing this for a while and I love the idea!
