Has seen a video of a robotic machine that can pick 60 apples per minute in farms. The technology is so accurate that it only picks ripe apples and of a particular size and grades them. It replaces the need to have farm hands...

M Cheung I guess robotic machines will replace farm workers eventually. Farm workers need to find another job to make a living. May be selling the produce.

Judy Evans We have very few to buy for now so Christmas is very quiet and not really expensive for us. I think some families go over the top when buying for Christmas gifts.

Anna I spent nothing at all during the Christmas holiday. I did not buy more food than usual and we did not exchange presents. We celebrated without getting broke.

Lil Bit aka Royal Mom Here is Arizona, USA, we have a lot of solar panels on the rooftops of houses. It is expensive to have the system installed but over time a lot of money is save on electric bills. I want to have my house converted to solar within the next year.

Anna CORRECT! They are annoying us to bring plastic to the recycling center, but only r PET beverage containers can be recycled and I wonder how much it pollutes to recycle those things. We should stop using plastic.

Go Ask Alice / Admin Only certain types of plastics are recyclable. There is no machine to recycle plastic that cannot be recycled. So it appears the best way is to stop making plastics that cannot be recycled.
