Ha ha loved reading your little memoir and how true it is that we were all so much greener back then (in more ways than one you might say), but this panic over green issues is relatively new due to the very fact that we have done away with so many "green" methods of doing everything. Nobody was ever driven to school except those who lived miles from school and kids always went out to play and made their own fun instead of using electricity to entertain themselves,and 30 years ago who would have thought every second person you know would have a mobile phone! It was the stuff of comic books. It would make you wonder if we weren't better off in a lot of ways back then. A bit of food for thought.
Kindest regards, gillo
