Sometimes they’ll give you the option to “receive fewer emails from us”, rather than have you fully “unsubscribe”- have you ever done that instead ? I've never noticed that option. I would consider checking it for some sites just to see if it made a difference.

If you get plastic or paper bags that the store provides, do you re-use them at home ? Yes, sometimes we get extra paper bags for holding our paper recycling. We do have single stream here, but it is easier to put it somewhere and then take it out when the bags are full.

Have you ever “unsubscribed” from an email/alerts list, when you were getting too many irrelevant messages
(form-letters such as petitions & fundraising appeals, with small print link at bottom to remove your name from their mailing list) ? Yes, I've unsubscribed from lists before. I also unsubscribe from spam, which I've found actually works. I still get some spam, but it's typically only a few a day, mostly Nigerian scams with a few pharmacy ads and a few "Get a loan" type ads here and there.
Sometimes they’ll give you the option to “receive fewer emails from us”, rather than have you fully “unsubscribe”-
have you ever done that instead ? I've seen this as an option, but never done it.

Nope. I find those intrusive robo calls ten times more annoying and since we switched to Ooma they have dropped down to zero vs several a day when we were with AT&T. AT&T would only block 20. Ooma blocks them all and the service costs way less then AT&T. Bonus:
