The following proposal was submitted by VETO, on behalf of his supreme penguinitude, Ving.
Should your nation wish to approve this most ecologically considered proposal, VETO would be delighted. The proposal's nomination time ends on the 28th.
If you have any concerns for VETO to consider, please submit them below.
On behalf of Ving, we thank you.
Ban on Junk Mail
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.
Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: Woodchipping
Proposed by: Ving
Description: His imperial penguiness is sick of the amount of brightly coloured paper advertising that finds its way into his personal mailbox. (Despite the near iron-clad "no junk mail" security system that eats posties alive.)
Somehow (especially given the current festive season) it just gets through.
Whilst Ving himself is scarcely aware of his own lush forests (prefering clean and sterile environments), the Vingian Ecological Temperance Organisation (VETO) is concerned at the amount of forestry destroyed in the name of advertising.
VETO have estimated that at least one tree per three houses, is consumed each year in producing the paper upon which brightly coloured and ultimatly untempting brochures are printed.
As many of these brochures are discarded upon receipt, VETO finds the production of junkmail to be doubly wasteful, and so proposes that any company caught sending unsolicited junk mail to citizens, should have its CEO and advertising committee hurled off the nearest cliff via trebuchet, catapult, or springy (recycled timber) plank, to feed the Fishes of the Deep.
N.B. Images of his serene Penguinity are not Junk Mail. All citizens can consider themselves honoured to have his likeness appear in their mailbox at least twice a week.
