  • One should note that, for at least twenty years, one of the largest direct mailers of junk in the US has been, and still is, the World Wildlife Fund, with over 50 percent of the money it collects funding junk mail, which it began labeling "education" some years ago.

    Anyone contributing money to World Wildlife should be alert to the fact that so much of their contributions are paying for a deceptive, anti-green practice.
