Should We Follow The Example Our Mothers and Grandmothers?

Posted on Mon, 08/31/2009 - 12:54

At ConservingNow.com we are always inspired by our fans "green" actions in their daily lives.  I loved this article about how "green" previous generations were - and what a change in attitude the current generations are facing.  The author is right to note that in my generation we would have been horrified to bring lunches in used plastic yogurt containers.  So its always interesting to me to see this same generation, 20 years later, "serving pinot noir in recycled jam jars" and touting the benefits of reusable bags.  I can't complain though - what's good for the environment is good for all of us.  And that shouldn't be a generational thing at all.
