Ahh yes. The classic “we have to reduce your standard of living for ‘the environment’ shtick”. It’s getting old by this point but I fear many people are still eating up this narrative.

I have an idea. How about we keep doing daily deliveries and when the climate nutters vandalise another painting we kindly point them to China and India. You know, the real polluters.

The postal service is paid per letter delivered, but its costs are scale with distance walked by employees. You want them to walk the same number of rounds as before, but let me guess: You personally haven't sent a single letter this year to pay for that walking.
