I think it is time for the USPS to allow people to opt out of paper mail entirely. Those who send junk mail or paper letters would just get a notice that the recipient doesn't accept paper mail, and include an email address for the recipient. Important mail would need to be sent by a service like FedEx. It would save a lot of money, paper waste, and energy. More than 95 percent of my mail is trash, but I need to drive to the postal station in case the IRS or someone else has sent me an official letter.
