On my commute this morning. Every week, these plastic wrapped packets of advertisements are distributed at every building. They are pretty useless and are almost never taken inside. Such a waste. It feels very symbolic of the relationship between our culture of consumption and our socio-ecological crisis.

And the long train of cars heading to the highway is icing on the cake.

@seanbala In some legislations this kind of wastefulness is forbidden (but enforcing it remains a problem)
@seanbala I hate these things!! Weekly litter in my front yard to be cleaned up. Such a waste. I got them to stop by submitting some opt-out form a couple years ago. They're still everywhere else though.

@seanbala ah here's the Redplum opt-out link:

We should start submitting every address where it's left as litter. Or post a flyer with a QR for the link.
