I don't know about you, but i can't wait for the future !!!!!!!
great answers people, bravo.....

Answer
Not sure why we need the list, but yes, of course I'm concerned about the future. By the way, the vast majority of the things on your list don't have to be made using fossil fuels. The list would have made more sense (and been a lot shorter) if it had only included stuff that could ONLY be made from fossil fuels.

When was the first street name sign put up in Washington DC?

torataisho

I am writing a story that takes place in Washington DC in the late 1840s and I need to know if there are street signs labeling the streets. She's supposed to be getting lost while looking for a specific address. I would very much appreciate some help on this.

Answer
Miss,
the first street signs in Washington DC for this time frame (among major cities of the world of the time) were actually corner signs placed on buildings in the same cities. It wasn't until after the American Civil War (in the USA) that the street signs begin to appear as bicyclists were the ones most seeking fast direction to their locations and these signs were made of wood - bicycle clubs began putting them up. Metal street signs begin to show up on a regular basis after the First World War and during the Second World War a lot of street signs were pulled for the lack of materiél in order to build ships, jeeps, airplanes, and helmets.

I hope this helps,
Gerry
