Proposal: electronic mail system tied to residence so we can stop cutting down forests for junk mail. Administered by the postal service, so whenever you file a change of address and prove receipt of a mailpiece at the new address, you automatically get the "keys" to the relevant email account.

It costs less—half as much, maybe?—to send to these addresses than to stamp a physical mailpiece for delivery, with the goal of reducing spam but (sigh) allowing political campaign & other junk mail.
