Usually, the flyer distributor is an odd job labour or who is trying to earn a miserable $5 per hr running up and down HBD blocks, door to door to give out flyers or maybe someone who take up additional job to make end meet.
I observe these flyer distributors at the HDB letterbox and newspaper deliveryman, they are always in a hurry and work very fast.
So, I doubt whether they are already exhausted and rush to finish the task on hand, do they have the time to notice anything or do they need to or have the capacity to care. I don’t know.
May they be able to find more fulfilling and environmentally-friendly jobs. Amituofo

Actually, I always/often have this nagging question:
To Take or Not to take?
With regards to those giving out flyers along the streets. To take and throw, ends up wasting/encouraging production of such papers. Not to take, makes me feel “guilty” that the person (esp. if elderly) have to continue to stand there till he/she finished giving out all the flyers…
Any advice/suggestion? so I may know what to do when I faced such a situation again, which is often, on a daily basis :p
If one would take a flyer, only to throw it , it’s definitely a waste of resources and encourage more to be printed. This creates more waste and the environment will eventually suffer in the long run.
If one does not take a flyer, the one who seems to “suffer” is the flyer-giver. But he or she does not really suffer as they get paid for doing their job. The real sufferer is still the environment – which makes us all suffer in return.
We need to send a clear message that these flyers won’t work – by not taking them. :666:
