There are around 8,000,000,000 (8 billion) catalogues delivered around Australia each year for around 23 million people. That is a lot of printed paper.


To produce these catalogues just stop and think of:

- the number of trees used to produce the paper

- the amount of water used

- the fuel & energy required for production and distribution

- the chemicals used in the printing process

- the CO2 that is released into the atmosphere

- the amount of paper rubbish that ends up in landfill

It is time to reduce this senseless waste and say "No to Junk Mail" - read your favourite catalogues online at Eco Voice here.


The Challenge

Keep Australia Beautiful needs help to get "No Junk Mail - I read my Catalogues Online at Eco Voice" stickers on as many letterboxes across Australia as possible.

And with Keep Australia Beautiful Week kicking off on Monday 23 August, now is the perfect time to get started.

Bundles of stickers are available for schools, community groups & sporting clubs to use as fundraisers to spread the word and make revenue for your other sustainability programs.

So get involved today and you will be helping the environment by:

    * reducing the junk mail litter that ends up on our streets
    * saving water and paper used in printing the catalogues
    * raising funds for your school or group eco project and helping Keep Australia Beautiful
