Environmentally Irresponsible

[Tinkerbella16]

I love it. How many threads do we have complaining about how Disney has made cuts to "little touches" that make the experience feel special in the name of saving a few dollars. Yet here we are complaining that one of those "little touches" is unnecessary.

I have 200-and-something days until my next Disney trip. Every piece of mail I receive from them builds excitement and anticipation. I can only imagine the effect is magnified when you have kids old enough to understand (my daughter is not yet 1).

100% completely agree with this! It adds to the excitement! I love getting any piece of mail that comes while anxiously waiting for the trip to come. And I look forward to that box a month out before my trip with my new, fresh magic band in it!

Again, I just want an option to not get mailings for every reservation and maybe a bit less packaging. For folks who love waiting for mail, I would not deny them this joy to their lives.

A bit late but here I go.

Paper is a renewable resource that is a carbon sequestering device that employs 100's of thousands of people with higher wage professions.

Oh stop with facts and logic.....

I think the key here is to understand that there are many different perspectives. We've seen them expressed -- sometimes very passionately -- among just a few people here in this thread. Now imagine the millions upon millions of people that Disney is serving on a yearly basis who come from every imaginable culture in every corner of the Earth. Try to accommodate all of that and make everyone happy. It's impossible.

For me personally, I am one of those rightwing nutjobs who doesn't feel that the environment is in trouble or needs any form of help from us. I don't oppose people doing "small things" they choose to do like recycling or using "smart" thermostats. I just don't believe those things provide any benefit to the environment. But I would never want to take away the choice to do those things from the people who want to. But I don't want my choices taken away either, which is why I oppose things like the mandatory motion sensor-controlled thermostats and eliminating the mailers that my family and I find exciting.

The point, though, is that you can't please everyone. There has to be a middle ground. So I get irritated that there's a motion activated thermostat in my room, and other people get irritated that there's too many mailers. We meet in the middle and life goes on.
