The companies have to pay (by weight) for their business reply mail, so I hope it helps the Postal Service revenue, in addition to giving some incentive to those mass-mailers to stop sending applications to folks they darn well know already have one (or more!) of their credit cards. Also, for all your shredded paper, I recommend worm composting. We've had one of the three-level composters in our garage for years now. We started because we had drainpipe clogging issues with stuff that went down the garbage disposer -- we have a very shallow slope to our drain pipe under the house, it turns out. Since we started giving all of our veggie waste to the worms, we've not had any pipe-sludge problems ... and of course we get a regular supply of nutrient-rich solid (and liquid) garden fertilizer, too.
