Checking out at the supermarket recently, the young cashier suggested I should bring my own bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment. I apologized and explained, "We didn't have this green thing back in my earlier days". The clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations".

She was right about one thing-our generation didn't have the green thing in "Our" day. So what did we have back then? After some reflection and soul-searching on "Our" day, here's what I remembered we did have….

Back then, we returned milk bottles, pop bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles repeatedly. So they really were recycled. But we didn't have the green thing back in our day.

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. But she was right. We didn't have the green thing in our day.

Back then, we washed the baby's nappies because we didn't have the throw-away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 240 volts — wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that young lady is right. We didn't have the green thing back in our day.

Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house — not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of Wales. In the kitchen, we blended & stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn petrol 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. But she's right. We didn't have the green thing back then.

We drank from a water 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. But we didn't have the green thing back then.

Back then, people took the bus, and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their mums 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. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint.

But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the green thing back then? We didn't have much stuff at all if I remember...yet every adult I knew had a job and mums had a choice of a part time job or stay at home and be a housewife. Very few people were on the dole.

Hey, all you girls that think you're ugly - if I can be up there, anybody can.

Punkazzsk8r: bring ur husband to the BBQ
Stonesgurl: Then he'll be jealous for sure as all the young men fall at my feet.
Punkazzsk8r: Local man Kills Hundreds in jelous tantrum...many computer geeks reamain in hospital
Stonesgurl: Middle-aged sex symbol at centre of dispute says, "I'm a victim of my own success"
Punkazzsk8r: one man who calls himself "punkazzsk8r" has claimed responsability, he says he prevoked the man and taunted him by saying."damn your wife is hot, without her.. no guys would jack off online"
Stonesgurl: The identification of the victims was hindered by the fact that very few knew anyone else's real name.
Punkazzsk8r: WWW.Nexopia.COM ran at half bandwidth today to show respect for the deceased users...but alas 1000 more users joined within the hour and filled the void by more than 10x...95% were 14 year olds
Stonesgurl: During the barbecue, the first aid facilities were overrun by attendees who were overcome by sunstroke and shock, since they were totally unaccustomed to sunshine, fresh air and actually talking to people face to face. ~ In other news, Internet users worldwide were pleasantly surprised by a sudden increase in speed on Saturday afternoon. Experts were baffled by the phenomenon, which seemed to originate in northern Alberta where usage abruptly decreased by 75%.
