I agree Glen. It's probably got something to due with the Internet causing obsolescence. Can we blame the Govt for that. Did they build it ? <g>. I just think there's less traditional letter mailings now, more paying bills, and other business transactions being done online. RE: TV Commercials I saw. Seems to me the USPS is targeting mail marketing & packaging now. IMO (tied in)why commercial printing is dying a slow death. The biggest commercial printer R.R. Donnelley prints phone books. How many use the phone books any more? Many past printed items can now be viewed on the internet. Are Xerox, HP & Kodak (Next Press) going to be selling as much small specialized printing equipment? This when someone can now download books on the Nook or Kindle. I know documents & books still need to be printed, but with Lexmark & Kodak exiting their PC printing business. I think this is an indicator to where the trend is headed. IMO-Just store it somewhere on a cloud till it needs to be printed.

I've not see US Environmentalist cheering the less use of paper. Also IMO the less pollution released now than in the past. Due to the US loosing are MFG base to China and other foreign countries. I believe this will create more opportunities for some US companies selling pollution control equipment and related services. This to China and abroad. FWIW- I own CECO Environmental Corp for this purpose.
I think Mexico ,China and other newly industrialized countries have some of the biggest problems to deal with. I'm not sure about mandated foreign regulation imposed on industry. However, I'm fairly sure both have situations worst than Love Canal in Niagara Falls area ever was.
