This one’s not actually so simple, but if you manage it, could be a great conversation piece.
Got one of these in the attic?
Time and a bit of ingenuity with a touch of technical know how, and you could have one of these…
Or, if you thinks that’s too much trouble…
One of these.
Or, if there’s only parts lying around…
Use your imagination.

A weekly challenge from Reduce Footprints blog. I try to participate weekly.
Each Friday, something to think about
A walk on the natural side each Sunday (or Monday...)
The Apothecary - A place to find natural products and remedies
The Green Ink Bottle - A repository for my quotes
So how have we gotten so far off course? When the label of ‘green’ was introduced, it was seen as a mission statement; something that would entitle the customer to some sense of comfort that they product they were supporting (which was usually more expensive) was working with the Earth’s best interests at heart. Instead we have simply completed a full consumerist revolution; the label has been taken, assigned a cultural identity and used to sell a piece of a lifestyle that is intended to speak more to your peers than to subsidize an environmental commitment.

Call me old-fashioned, but I’d just use it as a manual typewriter, in fact it’s the next item on my wish list, I’d love to write a book on one!

>Shana, I would find writing on one now to be a very laborious task. Talk about spoiled by technology. I used typewriters from the age of 12, so I am quite familiar with them, but I would never return to one.

I learned to touch type on a manual typewriter, that had no letters on the keys! Yes it would be painfully slow after using a keyboard, but part of me relishes that prospect, I’m getting nostalgic in my old age 🙂

Nothing wrong with nostalgia, I suffer from it myself. LOL
