Or require CVS to disclose on each receipt how much of the bill goes towards subsidizing the other 2 meters of receipt paper.

I thought the CVS receipt thing was a joke the first time I saw it. It's not a joke and it's not an exaggeration. CVS receipts really are 2 metres long.
The distance from the Earth to Sun is about 8 CVS receipts. It's not 2 meters, it's 8 light-minutes.
