I Sent More Coo-Coo Mail to Sierra Club

Perhaps you recall my ongoing correspondence with the Sierra Club. Perhaps additionally, as a probable resident of the United States, you are aware of the heat wave going on. Well! If you would like to know what happens when your hostess receives correspondence from her favorite extravagant envelope-stuffers while crazy from the heat, read on!

So, I got another mailing from the Sierra Club.

 

They're making some promises.

Oh wooowww, a cheap bag nobody needs that will end up in the landfill? Thanks, Sierra Club! What a boon to our toubled environment!

Last time I wrote to them I promised that I would step it up each time they continued sending me thick envelopes of wasted paper and vinyl. I would keep returning parcels to them, on their own dime, using this handy self-addressed postage-paid envelope.

Only now, I will start adding continually heavier items to the packages I send back to Sierra Club. Sierra Club likes to send a bunch of useless crap to everybody, such as multipe vinyl calendars and decals per year, and I figured, "I've got a  bunch of useless crap," so.

First, a flour sifter. I have two others, and I never sift flour. So, here you go, Sierra Club! Make a cake or something!

I also had this trivet, which is broken. Sierra Club, you care about the environment, make this into something useful!

Finally, this vintage Tupperware lid.  Sierra Club, this lid will fit on any number of vintage Tupperware cylindrical vessels, commonly found in orange, avocado, and goldenrod. Enjoy!

I topped the items in the parcel with the vinyl sticker and calendar strip, cushioning them with the shredded wall map and the other paper materials that came in the latest Sierra Club mailing, because I care about the environment.

I shipped it all in a reused Priority Mail box, wrapped it in repurposed paper bags from the local market, becuase I am ecological like that, Sierra Club.

 Here is the correspondence I included in the package.

And here is the package.

You are welcome, planet Earth.

Omg, I love you, you have got to be the best woman I have ever seen. I think I shall try your techniques with Publisher's Clearing House too who happen to take grave advantage of my elderly mother.

You should check out catalogchoice.org. They have a sierra club page with a number to call. I've used them to stop useless catalogs and I just signed up to be permanently removed from credit card offers. If only I can be removed from dentists, landscapers (I live in a condo...no landscaping for me), and real estate brokers.

Somewhat about the education, somewhat about the instinct, Emperor Yao justice and humanity generous raises the son red equally ignorant and stubborn rogue, is unable to withstand the imperial throne.

Such interesting read and information, thanks for sharing this post

good for you! I am really disappointed about their expenses breakdown and how much goes to fund-raising.

HA! Way to go Cols. Next time send them tufts of Addie and Cooper's hair. Perhaps they can fashion a faux Alpaca Sierra Club poncho out of it? Sigh. I miss Addie.

Love the responses to these douchepumps. I normally just try to recycle the crap they send in appreciation for the $25 check I wrote four years ago when I was high.

Best part of the post, though, are the background screen shots of Charles Durning doing a little "Sidestep" in the greatest scene of a fantastically underrated move, "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas."

Rock on, CoKane!

Read the fine print (e.g., links to a Privacy Policy or Terms & Conditions Statement) of any e-mail you receive asking you to sign up to a social media site.

I think it's part of the service of the funeral home and therefore a tip would not be appropriate.
