Can we have one or several months without ads of any kind?

Perhaps then we can appreciate a world without ads more.

It might also reduce the environmental burden of overconsumption.

It is amazing when you visit a city that has banned billboards especially when coming from one that does not.

It's the same (opposite) feeling you get when watching an ad free streaming service and the switch to live TV or Prime. Which is just like switching to a browser with out uBO.

If society went 30 days with a universal uBO experience, I think all wars would end, cats & dogs sleeping together, shields would become plow. You know, basically peace on earth.

IMHO the only way they'll pay attention if enough of us turn it all off.
