    Advertising is the most prolific form of environmental pollution wrought by commerce.

    It needs to become as socially acceptable as smoking, and every instance of it must be exhaustively scrutinised and required to be justified.

      Completely agree. The worst are maybe the nonstop ads for various prescription medications. Those used to be illegal.

      Thank you. People use power usage against cryptocurrency but their eyes glaze over when I ask how much of our resources are wasted serving constant ads to every screen in existence.
