    Ah yes, my daily trash delivery. Things really haven’t changed much in 100 years

        I dunno, a lot of the junk mail paper seems to be half-plastic. And even the newsprint, I wonder whether the ink will be toxic when burned.

    My girlfriend deciding she thought getting the mail everyday was something exciting has oddly been one of the more positive changes in life recently. To come home and just have one piece of mail that is actually necessary sitting where I put my work backpack and not have to even see all the other junk is a much better experience.

    I try hard to reduce my trash and recyclables, and it always depressed me to throw >90% of my “mail” right into the recycle box.

    “Opt Out” phone numbers are a joke, I had to mail letters asking the company to leave us alone with their promotional paper. True YOU, SelectQuote!
