We should all have a personal postal code that would link to our current address.

When we change our address we would link the postal code to the new directory. By having this the companies would not know where we live and we would have a place to select the mail we want.

That would be nice. However, the postal service is required to deliver your mail, and they make money by doing so. They have no interest in reducing mail and in fact have been advertising their “Every Door Direct Mail” service which is nearly impossible to opt out of. Look for “EDDM” label on mail and you’ll see what I mean.
