I’m sure this is already occurred to you, imagine what you’re starting. Pay would’ve been if you were in English, born Butler. All in good humor I promise. I think you’ve been with your employer for at least 10 years now you must be ready for retirement soon.

You're so right about yard maintenance being a huge source of pollution, not to mention noise. Our way of life in American is often thoughtless but not necessarily malicious. Consider this; Europeans have small water heaters on the walls in their kitchens & bathrooms to be turned on as needed. Whereas in America we're accustomed to having huge 30 to 40 gallon heaters providing hot water 24 hours day. Why? It's just the way things developed here and most of us don't know there's any other option.

Glad to see you're back at it, especially in such uncertain times.<br /><br />A few other things to consider are the use of lawn-mowers, leaf bowers, tractors, chainsaws and other off-road equipment account for huge amounts of pollution too. Switching to electric versions, which many manufacturers make, will help significantly. Further, I hope our scientists can perfect Hydrogen Fuel Cell and Nuclear Fission technology since they can be very clean. We have recently generated more fission energy than it took to create it. These technologies are coming but not fast enough. Last, note that the tipping point for electric cars didn't happen when a few millionaires purchased Teslas, rather, it came later when Ford, GM and Toyota saw the future and expanded their electric car lines. When Ford builds an Electric F-150, you know things are changing. So, now it's even easier to do one's part to save the planet.Matt O.https://www.musicgoround.com/locations/san-antonio-tx-centralnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416149814500566138.post-23934599890457203902023-10-01T23:20:35.472-04:002023-10-01T23:20:35.472-04:00I've always been captivated by the timeless ap...I've always been captivated by the timeless appeal of <a href="https://www.evansandhall.com.au/category/stationery/" rel="nofollow">vintage stationery</a>. The fine craftsmanship and attention to detail in vintage designs are unmatched, giving a distinctive character to every piece. Using vintage-inspired stationery allows me to infuse a sense of heritage and tradition into my communication, making it more meaningful. The texture and feel of the paper, combined with the classic patterns, lend a touch of elegance to my notes, creating a lasting impression on both sender and recipient.Ethan Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01407112355980888552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416149814500566138.post-17489761660555751982023-08-03T19:31:01.867-04:002023-08-03T19:31:01.867-04:00You have an amazing memory Chris!
