<p> Direct-mail advertisers are worried about the sudden desire
among consumers to cut down on junk mail. More than 1 million
people, an elevenfold increase over last summer, have signed
up for the post office's preference service, which eliminates

Association blames the backlash on the 1989 book 50 Simple
Things You Can Do to Save the Earth. The best seller's No. 1
recommendation: get rid of unnecessary mail. "If only 100,000
people stopped their junk mail," the book claims, "we could
save about 150,000 trees every year."
