Mail Moves America. . .and Mailing and Fulfillment Technology Moves the Mail

“Do-not-Mail” legislative efforts are led principally by two groups: an environmental organization known as GreenDimes, and an anti-consumerism group called the New American Dream. The bills are promoted as environmental statements to reduce waste, and are modeled after the earlier “Do-not-Call” effort. Reduction in identity theft and privacy concerns are also raised as bases for the bills, notwithstanding that general advertising mail does not contain personal information, and a Presidential Task Force finding that only three percent of ID theft is attributable to mail.
