This is a question False Economies

Sometimes the cheapest option isn't the right one. I fondly remember my neighbours going to a well-known catalogue-based store and buying the cheapest lawnmower they stocked. How we laughed as they realised it had non-rotating wheels and died when presented with grass. Tell us about times you or others have been let down by being a cheapskate.

I don't have a no junk mail sticker because I want to save the world.

This. ^^
Why should I have to expend any effort dealing with junk mail just because some cunt who ought to be dying a horrific death wants to sell me something.

Absolutely right.
I think that the OP has completely missed the point of "No junk mail" stickers. Not a single person affixes them with some kind of idea that they will be "saving" anything.

You just don't want marketing shit put through your letterbox. Simple as that.
