The Waste That AOL Creates

You’ve received one right? Oh no, not one, you say? But 10, 20, 50? You know what I’m talking about. Those AOL discs that come packaged in everything from magazines to Sunday newspapers to grocery store bags.

Well, someone is now trying to collect all that waste:

AOL Discs Returned to Sender

The two Californian men who kicked off the campaign have now gathered more than 80,000 of the promotional discs.

The campaign is intended to tell the company about the damage the discs do to the environment when discarded, and shame it into curbing its zealous promotional efforts.

Thank God. Space is running out on my daughter’s ceiling!
