Whenever I order anything from Amazon, the package will normally contain 1 or 2 flyers. These go straight into the bin (shame on me for not recycling), but I’m sure many other customers will immediately bin them too.
The package itself is recycled cardboard, which is recyclable, and I really can’t object to this. I doubt the flyers are, though!
Ironically, one of today’s flyers was from HSBC advertising green banking!
Oh, irony I love you so.
I buy something, I should not be served ads too… surely?!

Snigger..the HSBC junkmail about carbon footprint is a great one.
I have to admit that the pre-Mother’s Day flower coupon comes in handy as a discount and a reminder.
