I came up with a plan yesterday to help the environment:

[Rabrrrrrr]

We tax all non-essential massive paper use: every store flyer or advert flyer that goes into a newspaper or gets mailed gets a tax, and every piece of junk mail gets a tax, and every catalogue mailed out gets a tax, and all of those taxes get used for something environmental.

That should keep stores like Kohl's and Best Buy from putting two and three different flyers in the newspapers every week, and get them to only print maybe one a month, using less paper.

1. how about getting the idiot who sends me spreadsheets to format

...them in a way that it doesn't take a ream of paper to print up this month's marketing grid. :grr:

2. 1st Amendment problem there

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Why should there be a problem? We just tax the paper.

We'll call it a pre-recycling fee. :-)

If nothing else, we should get rid of the bulk-rate rate at the post office for businesses.

5. Then the big corporations will hire illegal trees from Mexico

and the American trees will be out of work....hold it that is the idea. Okay never mind then. Just uh don't do that or do whatever. Here is Kristin Chenoweth

4. Sounds good to me!

Love the idea about losing the bulk postage rate, too.
