When I originally saw the picture of all of these newspapers the first thing that came into my mind was: design by flaw. All of the newspapers are basically saying the exact same thing only with a different author to put their ‘spin’ on what they are writing. While all of these authors are writing the same thing and printing their own version they are killing trees. I’m not trying to go on my own little environmental kick here but it is a waste of paper, trees, time, and print. It seems to me that we should focus less on who is right and who is wrong and more on improving the fragile world that we live in. It would be better if we combined all of our news papers into one or two collaborative newspapers we could reduce the amount of supplies we use and the clutter on the streets. If we took away these tons and tons and tons of newspaper dispensers we could open up space on the streets.



Have you ever noticed where all of the elders are? They are all in nursing homes or in home care or something of that sort. But, why is that? People argue that elders shouldn’t drive and they should be locked away because they are too much work. Could it be that they are too much work because they lose their quality of life? What would happen if elders could be outside and enjoy life even into their 80s and 90s instead of being locked away? There quality of life will improve and they will live not only longer but happier lives. Well how on earth does an 80 year old woman or man get around in a city like Indianapolis? Well Indy-Go already has a great system in place for people who are elder or disabled. The busses are on air suspension systems that lower and they have ramps etc. etc. The only other problem is that elders can’t stand for THAT long. Well guess what, we condensed a ton of news paper dispensers and opened up all that space. Let’s put in benches and plant trees. Now these elders can get around, enjoy a better quality of life, and we have helped the environment tremendously.
