A student sent a message over the student listserv today instructing any student who wants the school to go green to push any advertisements put into mailboxes back into the mailroom, assuming that the mailroom would eventually stop delivering them if they were inundated with enough "return to senders".
A professor just replied, "If you wish to protest, the sender of the paper mail needs to hear it -- not the mailroom employees whom you would be demeaning if you push all that paper back onto the mailroom floor. The mailroom cannot stop giving you mail; they must deliver what is sent to them. Please do not punish the messenger."
Thank goodness for good sense.
