Small things which annoy me

There are two small things which annoy me the first being the waste of paper because the U.S. doesn't have an international language, and the second being more salt on the road than snow. These are two small things which I think can make a big difference if we change, which I will explain.
So I got a camera for Christmas, and there were 4 booklets explaining how to use it. Each booklet was about 30 pages, and all were the same, except they were all in different languages. There was a french booklet, Spanish booklet, Japanese booklet, and of course and English booklet. I don't know who would be stupid enough to need all 4 booklets to figure out how to turn on a camera. That is 120 pages of waste, people are like save the trees but then we are getting 90 extra pages of gibberish which goes right into the trash. I understand that someone might need one of those languages to figure out how to use their camera but couldn't they request it at the store counter or something. According to one paper manufacturer, however, a cord of wood measuring 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet—or 128 cubic feet—produces nearly 90,000 sheets of bond-quality paper or 2,700 copies of a 35-page newspaper. Okay so that doesn't sound like a lot but if every product we buy has at least 3 different language booklets that is a lot of paper in the drain.

So we live on a small street but still these huge dump trucks dump tons of this salt/sand mixture on the roads and there isn't even any snow sticking. They see one flurry and they dump tons of salt on the roads. The salt washes into the bay, ruins the roads, kills plants and animals, ruins the paint on cares and seems to be there forever. Just think how much tax money we could save but putting half as much salt/sand on the roads.

Well now you know how I feel, how do you feel about these topics???
