There’s absolutely no reason not to use coupons. I’ve become very fond of them, especially lately with prices in the grocery skyrocketing. Why wouldn’t you use coupons, its like free money!

While you’re at it, I buy several newspapers a day. I PAY for the ADS too!! Why do I have to pay for advertising? I demand that I get my newspaper without the ads! How much larger is my Sunday paper because of the ads? How many trees did it kill? You say the paper couldn’t survive without the ads, huh? Well, how ’bout that!!

Of course, the mail comes to me without charge. Someone paid to send it to me. I don’t have to read any of it, but at least I didn’t have to pay for it.

Let’s see these people are the same people who banned plastic bags and are now using thick paper bags to carry they’re groceries home? Hum… I wonder how many envelopes one could make from a single paper grocery bag? I wonder if they’ve ever visited a Weyerhauser tree forest. You know those spindly fast growing pine trees they grow specifically for PAPER products! Yeah good idea, do-not-mail registry. How many people will this put out of work? maybe they could grow marijuana at the forestry to sell to the people in SanFran. who are sooo smart. Those same people who chose to live in grossly overpopulated areas of the US who spend hours idling in traffic,polluting the air we breath, and yes killing those precious Giant Red wood trees in your national parks. How many trees have they clear cut for all the huge power-lines strung across your state to provide electricity to your smog pouring cities ? Drug infested, Crime riddled, Aids epidemic society you embellish With your narrow-minded ,self-righteous petty attitude. I suppose you will want the Post Office to filter your mail and absorb the cost of doing so all while continuing to deliver your mail at the same cost as before? Hello! Advertising, while providing a value to those of us who use coupons and can READ the sales ads enjoy the information we rely on from the mail. It’s not possible to keep up with everything we’re interested in without a friendly reminder on occasion. So keep your opinions on whats good for us and fix ALL THE BAD in YOUR CITY of SAN-FRAN. You won’t have time for trivial things such as a piece of bulk-rate mail.

This is discouraging news. In these tough economic times, businesses need to do what they have to do to survive. And many rely on Direct Mail advertising to promote their business. If you want to stop this mail from coming, you need to really understand who loses in the long run. Businesses will be forced or wil hesistate to advertise, their business could suffer, loss of revenue and possibly shut down. So when these businesses start closing – the smaller ones who often provide the consumer with great local deals – the consumer is the one who comes out on the losing end. San Francisco business themselves should be disheartended with this news. And by the way, if you get something you dont want in the mai, is is really such a big deal to just toss it in the trash if it doesnt interest you? You know there are times when you receive items that do. Just pick and choose what you want to read – simple as that- -

these people save trees by wasting millios of dollars on non sustainable building materials on houses in the middle of wildfire epicenters. where 1.6 BILLION dollars of taxpayer dollars each year are spent trying to stop a natural and very nessecary natural rejuvination.
so pass your bill while im sure you are packing your bags and moving to Iowa anyway.
make a difference one way or another.
small people= small battles

The “junk mail” is really called advertising, and it is everywhere. That advertising is what pays our bills. It also has the coupon for the Family Size Pizza at a better price, mmmmmmmm. Enjoy your day.

While the ecological impact of paper, deforestation and contamination in processing, is of concern, it is “Junk Mail” that finances the underfunded pseudo public private US Mail service.

Do we really want to have to pay UPS/Fedex rates to deliver documents… The price of a first class letter is still a great bargain… to be delivered house to house across the country. An email is nice but a card to or from grandma is a treasure.

And of course there is Netflix….
