Cancelling the weekly flyer stuffed weekly

Dear Victoria News, Please stop delivering your paper to 558 Sumas Street (all suites). The obscene amount of print advertising you include with your weekly may be beneficial to your bottom line (and indeed your very lifeblood) but we find it offensive. We do not want to contribute to environmental degradation just so you can get paid. The amount of paper and ink you waste on flyers we have absolutely no interest in is astonishing. I am very sorry that new technologies are killing your industry and I know you are doing what ever you can to survive, but creating more useless waste is an ultimately futile practice. It is absolutely bad business to deliver these products en masse, any benefit you are delivering to the community in the production of your news must be weighed against the amount of waste you are generating. Think about it.
