It was fun, I think I used to make around 25 bucks a month, also mowed a couple lawns for about 5 bucks a pop, washed a few cars a month, 3 bucks a pop.

Making about 40 Bucks a month would be a good month.

The good ol days.
I had a big route and a small route, 7 days a week, I would make sure every paper was on their porch, I carried so many papers I couldn't reach the handle bars for half the route, got really good at riding that way

I spent a summer putting down new coating on driveways, made a lot of money for a 15 year old

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
