Here is a typical fall scene around here at this time of year, the leaves will be picked up for composting.
The beautiful new Ripley's Aquarium of Canada opened yesterday in Toronto at the base of the CN Tower.
I've noticed some stores lately asking me if I would like my receipt emailed to me. It was a bit confusing, but what they are trying to do is eliminate paper waste. You can get a paper receipt if you want and have it emailed to you as well. It's something to think about. I certainly have a problem with too many paper receipts over the years.
Here is a cute story I read in the newspaper the other day. It's entitled:
A search for a ‘co-parent’ has ended in love.

Here the leaves are being cswept up and collected day by day. think the stores may just want the mail addresses! Have a nice day, Valerie
Our pharmacy receipts are emailed. Otherwise, we receive paper receipts, which we store in a trash bag til the end of the year. Then, we discard the bag.
I still get paper receipts! But all the bills are being forced to E-bill statements.
I understand about cutting down wastes, but there are screwy companies that taking advantage of flooded emails and snug in their illegal extra charges for this or that, which we often overlooked. It happened to me every month and I had to spend time on the phone fighting with this issues!
There's a couple stores here doing that now as well. Old Navy does it. I always choose that option when it's available. Figure I might save a tree :)
It's been mild and not all the leaves have come down yet. The trees are still holding onto most of them. But it won't be long now. Our city has scheduled leaf pickup for next month. We mulch most of ours and scatter it around the lawn and flower beds, so there's barely any pickup from our home.
I run over the leaves with the lawn mower and let them compost in the yard.
I know Sears and office depot have offered this as well.
I haven't heard of that, great idea,
