I wonder if the Kirkland Reporter would be willing to ask all of it’s readers what they do with all the ‘extra junk mail’ that comes with the newspaper each Thursday? It would make for an interesting survey – perhaps allowing the readers to decide whether or not they want all this extra paper. Personally, I don’t and immediately put it in the recycling but not without sorrow at the amount of waste; paper, ink, gas for delivery etc. It would be great if the Reporter could become a leader in reducing such incredible waste and I’d be stunned if I learnt I was alone in this thought.
