The Fight Against Junkmail

Letterboxer is dedicated to fighting the unnecessary waste from junkmail. Letterboxer not only saves junkmail from being distributed, and in turn trees from being logged, but is assisting New Zealanders to progress towards sustainable living.

• Destroying forests to make paper for junk mail releases as much greenhouse gas pollution as 9 million cars according to a 2008 ForestEthics report.
• The average Christchurch home receives 70kg of junkmail per year.
• A third of people receiving junkmail will give it up if you offer them a 'no junkmail' sticker.

Letterboxer volunteers make giving up junkmail as easy as saying "Yes".

Discussion Forum Online

I've just setup a online forum for us to talk about junkmail and Letterboxer projects. Help me out by telling us your ideas.

Sponsorship from Doubledot Media

Simon Slade from Doubledot Media, a multiple award-winning company in Christchurch, has agreed to sponsor Letterboxer. He is generously providing postage stamps (because the NZPost Community envelopes ran out), paying for stickers that can be sent nationwide and providing prizes for a 'No Junkmail' sticker design competition.

Popular demand

I want to thank everyone who sent in kind emails supporting Letterboxer. In the days after Charlie Gate's article 'Group hits back against junk mail onslaught' appeared in The Christchurch Press and on stuff.co.nz, over a hundred 'No Junkmail' stickers have been requested by Canterbury residents. A handful of people have offered to volunteer, this is great and will help Letterboxer make a bigger difference.

Attention Volunteers

Do you want to make a difference? Sign up so you can start Letterboxing in your own area.

Letterboxers are volunteers who go door to door offering no junk mail stickers for free. If someone wants the sticker, you put it on their letterbox for them. When you've finished, go home and enter your survey results into the website.

The website map shows the surveyed streets with a pin, and the more stickered the street is the greener the pin appears. Anyone can be a Letterboxer and turn the streets green.
