Overload leads to Waste

Here are various proclamations about wasted time, resources, and days; sad if even half true!

* Americans waste 9 million hours per day searching for misplaced items.
* The average adult spends 16 hours a year searching for lost keys.
* 80% of the items we file, we never look at again
* The average person spends 8 months of their life reading junk mail.
* 90 million trees are consumed each year to provide paper for junk mail.

Too Much Catalog Information

In this age of high-speed Internet connections, catalog companies in the U.S. annually mail more than 19 billion catalogs, consuming nearly four million tons of paper.

What a waste, for everyone and everything.
