"This Is A Great Idea - Go For It

When you get ads in your phone or utility bill, include them with the
payment. Let them throw it away.

When you get those pre approved letters in the mail for everything from
credit cards to 2nd mortgages and junk like that, most of them come with
postage paid return envelopes, right?

Well, why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in
these cool little envelopes! Send an ad for your local dry cleaner to
American Express. Or a pizza coupon to Citibank. (I especially liked
this!)

If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them their
application back! If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your
name isn't on anything you send them.

You can send it back empty if you want to just keep them guessing!

Eventually, the banks and credit card companies will begin getting all
their junk back in the mail. Let's let them know what it's like to get
junk mail, and best of all THEY'RE paying for it! Twice!

Let's help keep our postal service busy since they say e-mail is cutting
into their business, and that's why they need to increase postage again!"

That's the smartest idea I've heard in awhile! That made me think of something related, which I learned from one of my professors. This is how you get telemarketers to stop calling you:

Most companies hire 3rd parties to do telemarketing. When they call you, simply lie and say something to the effect of "I already have that". The telemarketer's records are all screwed up, so they won't know the difference anyway, and they won't have a reason to bother you again.
