Many of us search to find what we want, click in to a specific website, read what’s available and click out. That’s not necessarily a bad thing because it’s efficient. We learn to tune out things we don’t need and go straight for what’s essential.

Get retailers to COMMUNICATE BENEFITS to customers both online AND brick & mortor of receiving newspapers, magazines, Ebooks & video conferencing downloaded to their PCs, Ipods, Blackberry or Ereaders. ENCOURAGE all retailers to encourage bicycling, carpooling & public transportation of patrons besides encouraging bicycle baskets, pannier bags & reusable shopping bags.!

Family goes shopping together to stoe within 2 miles. Have older kids ride their bicycles with baskets along with parents to help carry groceries.

That’s why I make all of my gifts from recycled garbage and mud.
