To cut down on junk mail, first, I "unsubscribe" from as many websites as I can. That cuts down on a lot of junk mail.
Then, from the outfits I want to stop sending me mail, if they have included a postage paid envelope, I'll go ahead and fill out their survey (or whatever) but not include a check. See how much they value my opinion then! Sometimes I just return the postage-paid envelope, or I might include other junk mail. Fun! It almost makes it fun to get junk mail.

So they're losing money on you two times. Is that really so satisfying? Everybody and every business is trying to make money. They put a lot of money and effort into their appeals; writers, printing, postage, mailing list coordinators, etc. and a lot of people are employed because of them.
I know they can be a pain in the butt, we all get junk mail. It's best to return it and ask that they take you off of their mailing list. Someone there should be in charge of keeping the mailing list updated. Or even just throw it away. That seems a nicer thing to do.
Please! Most often when you unsubscribe from spam it verifies that you're there and they send you more and more - not just from themselves, but they sell your email address to others!
If it's spam, you must block it! Please!
Unsubscribing to emails, just increases the chances of you getting on more lists. It's better just to block the email addresses.
Too funny about sending junk mail back to them in the prepaid envelopes!
