7. Protect the trees
8. There is no life without Green

The main reason for My complaining about unsolicited mail though are:
1)
I cannot bend down to pick the bastards up off the floor without pain!
2)
They leave the letterbox open, allowing the cold to come in!
3)
I cannot afford my electricity bills now!
4)
I cannot afford to buy anything that is advertised!
5)
All these reasons increase my frustration and depression, get my blood pressure up, and make me want to commit murder!
Just a few thoughts!
