I wonder how visible it will be when showing final charges for an order.

I'd definitely be more likely to "wait it out" when considering purchases in my cart if I can see what I expect will be a temporary levy.

We could immediately provide relief to fuel prices, while doing the climate a huge favor, by immediately suspending the USPS accepting marketing material through the mail.

My mailbox is permanently jammed with paper that useless paper that is both produced and hauled away to a landfill by diesel fuel.

No I do not want your credit card offer.

No I do not want to switch phone plans.

No I do not want an extended warranty.

Not sure how it is in America, but in Canada you can post a note inside your mailbox stating that you don't want unaddressed mail.

What percentage of overall vehicular fuel use does junk mail (from inception to landfill) constitute, might you suppose?
Teever•2m ago
It's not just the vehicular fuel that goes into this process, it's the growing the trees, harvesting them, making them into paper, then combining that paper with ink that likely has a similarly complex supply chain on a printing press that consumes a lot of power.

Getting flyers that are subsidized by the post office for stuff like lawnmowers and patio furniture even though I live in an apartment is peak absurdity.

I built a free open-source Mac app and got DMCA'd for using Apple's public APIs
