eliminate all paper-based advertising communications coming through the mail or delivered to a person's home or mailbox.

Every day there are millions of flyers and pamphlets that are received by Americans through their mailboxes. Ninety nine percent of it is garbage and subsequently ends up in overflowing landfills. A yellow book phone book came to the house today as well as every other house in the neighborhood.
Where did it go?
Who uses a phone book anymore?
This is a huge waste and highlights the nature of our country and our government. The waste needs to stop. Companies should no longer be allowed to send any kind of advertisement through the mail. The only communications that should be allowed to be delivered through the mail are personal letters, postcards and direct business letters for account information and statements. We are a digital society and should move on from these archaic practices.
