Plasic wrapped magazines

This is an email that I sent to AGM Online today:

Hi.

I will return your latest issue of “landscape” to you.
I will no longer accept newspapers and magazines wrapped in foil.
For decades magazines were delivered with just a sticker on the back, then followed a paper envelope, then the plastic. I could find nothing wrong with just the sticker.

Please do not send me any further mail that is wrapped in plastic.
I am the opinion that it is unnecessary and a superfluous burden for the rubish system and the environment.

I would be delighted you you would revert to stickers only and would happily accept and read your good magazines again.

Kind regards,
Ingo Ratsdorf
