Damon: Hug Trees Much?

How many poor little trees had to die so you could get your mug on the cover of this junk - Matt? I'm talkin' to you Matthew?"

Matt Damon is trying to save the planet with an organization attempting to halt the tons of junk mail delivered to American homes. The movie star has joined forces with website GreenDimes.com in an effort to promote environmental efforts to prevent the trees used for junk mail letters and envelopes from being chopped down.
