Did you know that if U.S. homeowners let their grass clippings
remain on the lawn, they could reduce fertilizer use by 25%
and save 1.3 billion pounds of chemical fertilizers and more
diesel fuel than Amtrak uses in 6 years?

Tired of those telemarketers? A friend suggests trying this:
Answer the phone with "Hold on , please..."
Saying this, while putting down your phone and walking
off (instead of hanging-up immediately) would make
each telemarketing call so much more time-comsuming
that possibly boiler room sales could grind to a halt.
Then when you eventually hear the phone company's
"beep-beep-beep" tone, you know it's time to go back
and hang up your handset, which has efficiently
completed its task.
Who knows, it could happen!
