"Dear Purveyors Of Fine Paper Junk Mail"... - 7/22/2013 7:06:57 PM

Status: offline 		...I am writing to discourage your companies from 2-sided printing. I realize you are trying to cut your advertising costs and (hopefully) conserve resources, but I must let you know in truth you are denying me my free paper supply.

Yes, I use the blank side of your crap mail in my printer. Since I didn't ask for it to begin with, I make the best of the situation by giving each sheet one more life before ultimately heading for the great recycle bin in the sky. When you print both sides you are effing up the earth, pissing off mail delivery folks and thwarting my sincere efforts to reduce, reuse, and recycle.

Also, those odd-sized non-8.5x11 sheets are completely useless to me, especially those really long-assed perforated dealios. They're too stiff to wipe my butt and thus must be tragically binned on the first go-round. Continuing to send them only guarantees I will not buy your product. OK, I'll be honest: nothing you send that I didn't request will result in a sale from me. Ever. Even if I can use your paper in my printer.

Please return to one-sided, 8.5x11 junk mail and if possible, would you spring for a better quality paper? Also, please don't bother with the pre-paid reply envelope. I use those to put the housekeeper's money in, but she is only here twice a month so I don't need more than 2. If you continue to send them, I will tape the extras to a brick and mail them back to you.

Many thanks,
MDA

I hope that helps,

Status: offline 		In the concentrations you could reasonably expect from average mailings, no. You wouldn't want to stand over it and breathe it in, but in an open area it's okay. It's no more toxic than the other several hundred thousand other chemicals we're all exposed to on an everyday basis. I do mix mine up with normal paper shreds, stick it in brown paper bag and staple it shut. It makes a nice teepee to lay smaller pieces of wood on to get the fire going.

Status: offline 		Not with heat-set paper. The inks and the surfactant isn't good for soil. That why MDA asked if it was okay to breathe when burned. As long as it's in the open and it can dissipate, its fine. Concentrations of it are bad. Don't use it for mulch.

Oh, dear gawd, I never should have looked that up.

And yet, your idea is rather compelling.
