Sylvia, I love this article. Already sent it to my boomer cohorts.

I could rant, but I have a question. There are so many countries that don't think 'green', have the green rules that many 1st world countries have. What about them?


I'm 52, my adult childrena are 29 and 23.
My mother (born in 1935) didn't have a dryer until about 15 years ago. I don't use my dryer that often. I use a clothes line, because it saves money.My father (born 1929) grew up in a house with no indoor plumbing, because they didn't have the money.

In my first marriage, we had one car for the first 8 years, because we didn't have the money. I walked everywhere with an infant.
Now I have a little more money, but habits are hard to change. I love paper bags, I had plastic bags. We have a water filter and re-fill our own water bottles. I save my change in a glass jar. I have a vegetable garden. I re-use containers.
