There is a great new thread in the Retirement Forum entitled "The Green Thing". Well, the original post is great, at the very least, and I would recommend it. The poster points out that within his living memory, people did so many "green" things before that term was even in common use. I am 67, and I remember almost all the things he gives as examples: using a push mower to cut the grass, walking to school or riding my bicycle to school, hanging out the wash to dry because we didn't even own a dryer. And no, our family did not live in poverty; this was the way most people lived at one time. There are many more examples in that post, and if you are at all interested in this, I would encourage you to go to the Retirement Forum and read it. It's funny how things sometimes come full circle.
