What is probrowse all about?

Concerned about the extreme waste created by direct mail, the founders of ProBrowse conducted an experiment. We decided to collect and put in a bag all the direct mail we received in a week's time. At the end of the week we had two full bags, nearly all of it unopened. Thus, though the following statistics alarmed us, they didn't surprise us.

• 100 million trees are ground up each year for unsolicited mail.
• It wastes 28 billion gallons of water for paper processing each year.
• Nearly 40 pounds of junk mail is sent to every adult each year. Approximately 44% goes to a landfill unopened, resulting in more than 4 million tons of paper waste each year.
• The production and disposal of junk mail consumes more energy than 2.8 million cars.*
