Reply #46: I've requested various things stop already and they continue [View All]

i've requested the free paper stop getting delivered and it continues.

i've requested credit card offers stop, and they slowed briefly, but then continued at full steam.

i've gone to anonymous giving because i'm blanketed by mailings from charitable organizations --those that don't allow anonymous giving, i've mostly eliminated and given more to organizations that do. ironically, the Sierra Club and other environmental organizations send me the most paper fundraising pitches --i've wanted to join Sierra for a long time, but their spamming my real mailbox put a stop to that.

the International Rescue Committee whom I'd heard good things about so that I donated to them after the Haiti earthquake --they send me thick mailings probably once a month. i'm not donating to them again until that stuff stops.



you don't believe i've made an effort to stop the junk mail --well i have. it's not worked. you don't like my answer, that's fine,
you don't have to. i don't like everything i read on DU either --as everyone knows.

what i'm trying to get folks to understand is that because all the normal routes to stopping this madness, because those aren't working or are too onerous, then i'm going to start fighting the postal service and advocating for it to be reduced or get a new mission. the current one is wasteful, intrusive and environmentally destructive.

how much fossil fuel is spent delivering paper junk mail that almost nobody wants? too much.
