Is There a Balance?

I recently found out that those irritating, gigantic yellow books left on everyone's front door every year may become more of an option to deal with and store in our homes and less of an obligation. Personally, I feel we should have a choice whether or not to receive the yellow pages.

For those of us who have computers or cell phones that can access the information we need, it’s pointless to waste paper. We don't use the yellow page book anyway! For others, the yellow pages is the only way to get information and that’s O. K.

Is there a balance?

Think of how much paper we would salvage!  Unfortunately the thought of jobs lost has entered my mind as well. That is also in the equation. Is there a balance between new technology and letting your fingers do the walking? Which ironically applies to both the old and the new way of thinking.  I do believe there is enough of both schools to balance out in the end. It is a much brighter, greener and efficient way to access the plethora of information we have right at our finger tips, no paper wasted. What do you think?

Too much garbage!

I was living in an apartment complex when I was residing in Houston. One of the most obvious issues I noticed was the garbage dumpster. It was disgusting, garbage all around and outside as well. Smelly and attracting pests, including rats. When I moved to Tampa, the complex that I live in now is equipped with a trash compactor. Wow.. What a difference, clean and neat all the time. Good for environment and great on the nose and eyes.. A great idea for all apartment living complexes.
