A well written paragraph is worth a thousand pictures.

Avoid quotes. If you need them for context, you can't write well.

I'm on call for Christmas too, but I expect 0 calls. Which is a bummer cos I could use the money

Perhaps you should put more energy into getting corporations to change. The general population can only change a small percentage if everyone chips in.

If you're not accessing it, not really. If anything, maybe a tiny bit on your email provider's side. There's some energy involved in making storage drives and powering them, but I feel like there's probably, literally, a million things you could do that would be more effective.

A lot of shipped packages have paper for padding that can be used, as well. And you can decorate it to your liking.

In email and business especially. Lead with the question or need FIRST.

I'm not blaming the mail person for the junk mail. I do blame the companies who are sending it to me. The original conversation started when I was trying to get companies to stop sending me their garbage!

Just like setting up a spam folder in email or being able to opt out of spam calls there should be a way to get rid of unwanted junk mail. And to make it clear, it's not the mail persons fault!

Yup, I really do this! About 7 years ago I remarked how irritating it was to receive such a great amount of junk mail and I wished there was a way to opt out of getting it. It was suggested by the my mail person that I put a note on the mailbox requesting no junk mail. So I took the suggestion and did it. Unless it specifically has my name on it I don't get junk ads and newspapers. Is this a perfect solution? Nope. When there is a fill in mail person it's a 50/50 chance of getting the ads and junk mail. It's not a big deal I just drop it in the recycling box. My mail carrier says they just take it back to the USPS and drop it into recycling.

And just an FYI.. The secretary at work doesn't get rid of useless junk mail for me. I riffle through my own mail and drop it in the recycling bin - thank goodness I get very little. There really should be a way to opt out of junk mail like there is for spam calls!

Edit: Just for clarity, they don't personally carry the mail to the mail box. They drive up in a jeep, open their window and put the mail in the mail box. There is a box in the vehicle that they collect junk, etc and when they get back to the USPS and it goes into recycling. If it has my name on it then it has to be delivered to me.

Thank you! This maybe it. They take some meds heart conditions but not sure what it does.

A few years ago my mail person told me that I could opt out of ads and general junk mail. As long as it doesn't have my name on it I don't receive it. So rarely do I get anything. And for the couple of postcards and the such that I do get I put it in recycling.

So personally I ask for a paper bag occasionally and for $1.25 or on sale I pick up a roll or 2 of generic wrapping paper. A few years ago I received reusable paper towels, microfiber clothes and old baby diapers as a gift that I use for cleaning windows, mirrors and dusting. Rags are wonderful for general cleaning purposes. At my old job I received several dozen bar rags that were practically brand new. They were getting rid of them because the company that did their laundry were changing the colors - from blue to white!

It’s 2022. No one has newspaper laying around.

Holy shit you’re right it’s so easy - you can just NOT worry!

This is awful advice that stems from the right place but is ultimately ignorant and pretty ivory-tower.

Yes they filter mail from previous tenants but I would bet it's not legal for them to withhold mail. Someone paid for it after all

>I’ve noticed a lot of expired food on the shelves lately.

I don't believe you.

I mean some things are obvious

Also, they’re already supposed to filter out mail from previous tenants.
