Dear God how many trees.

[da]

Our mailbox was stuffed with newspaper ads (delivered by our local paper).

Anyone want to guess how much paper?

3.5 lbs. 1.5kg.

Gah.

Leaving aside that I called them on Monday to tell them once again to stop delivering these ads to us, I'm aghast at how much paper this is. It's over 2 1/4 inches (compressed) tall.

Gah.

Does it work to put a sign on your mailbox that says, "no circulars"? That worked in TO.

I uttered some expletives myself when I brought all that crap in today. I need to figure out how to make them stop.

We have a sign to that effect, so I suppose the answer might be "no". However, the sign might have been less visible in the gloom, since they came through mere minutes before I got home at 5:20.

If you call the paper, they're supposed to suspend delivery.

I need to figure out how indignant I should sound when I call them on Monday. Right now I'm going... 3.5lbs x 50,000 homes = 87 tons of paper = suck. And I think they deliver more than 50k of them.
