I have been working at Kum and Go since May 2016. In my 7 months working here I find it strange we throw away so much receipt paper. We ask every customer if they would like their receipt and about 9 out of 10 people say they don't. Now I work at a slower store in Colorado Springs and we probably go through a box of receipt paper every 2 weeks sometimes 3 boxes in a month during the summer.

Early pilots were not regulated as they are today, and would take off and land their aircraft in any flat open area, often a farmer’s grassy field, which allowed them to choose their direction relative to the prevailing winds.

The U.S. penny has been around for a long time. A version of the penny was the first currency ever issued by the United States over two hundred years ago (A Brief History of the U.S. Cent, n.d., para.1).
