With every day that passes, we all see the need for conserving our natural resources. Light bulbs, timers on our heat or air conditioning systems, keeping that temperature at the correct seasonal setting, planning our driving trips to include better routes to cover more errands on the same trip, using less paper and more. Life has certainly changed.
Years ago, there were no fax machines. Contracts needed to be hand delivered to the listing office. Immediately. Pages were rewritten, in carbon. Messages were taken down on pads, in carbon, by the office secretary. There was no voicemail. The lockboxes were combination or had a metal key to open them. You paid a small fee, $50.00 for the key. Only Realtors could purchase and hold them. Now, everything is online. Lockboxes, contracts, assessor cards, etc. Even the faxes can be sent and are delivered to email.
I wonder, if we were to return to some of the old tools, would we use less of our world energy? Has some of the way we are now living, caused us to use too much energy? Will the laptops and computers of tomorrow use less energy?
Join me and plant a carbon forest tree. Just another way to help recognize the need for conservation!
It's a Good Life!

It is fun to look back and see how we "used" to do things.
