…we did things that put your “green habits” today to shame, and uphill both ways! Our Grandparents: The Real Environmentalists?

I do love doing a lot of things the old way… making tea with real leaves (no tea bags) so I can compost them, boiling water on the fire, finding new uses out of old things. I have to say though… older generations probably did not have to deal with so much packaging and disposable plastic. I have no idea what even a grandmother can do with 1,000 plastic bags. And how does one reuse, say, plastic items that break? (Yep, I’m kinda plastic-obsessed. I’d love to live in a home that didn’t have it and didn’t need it!)
