Going Green

by our scribbling. We were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags with crayons or markers.

We walked up stairs, because we didn’t have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn’t climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks.

Back then, we washed the baby’s diapers because we didn’t have the throwaway kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 volts. Wind

cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn’t fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn’t need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.

We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.

Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service. We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances.

We enjoyed each other’s company as we all watched the only television in the house. We were a close family.

It’s time to go back to buying less, wasting less and trashing less. Save the environment and enjoy your family.

Just Joking A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past them. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian. The children fell to discussing the dog’s duties.

“They use him to keep crowds back,” said one youngster.

“No, he’s just for good luck,” said another.

A third child brought the argument to a close.

“They use the dogs,” she said firmly, “to find the fire hydrant.”

Dalmatians When fire pumps were pulled by horses, you needed the dogs to run ahead and clear a path.

Horses and dalmatians got along very well, thus the association
