are you "green" enough?

 This is so true... And we are, the young people, really need to read this story.

Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the older woman, that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment.

The woman apologized and explained, "We didn't have this green thing back in my earlier days." The young clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment f or future generations."

She was right -- our generation didn't have the green thing in its day.

Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda 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 over and over. So they really were truly recycled. But we didn't have the green thing back in our day.

Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags, that we reused for numerous things, most memorable besides household garbage bags, was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our schoolbooks. This was to ensure that public property, (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribbling's. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags. But too bad we didn't do the green thing back then.

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 diapers because we didn't have the throwaway kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 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 the state of Montana.

In the kitchen, we blended and 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 gasoline 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 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 streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms 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 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest burger 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?

Please forward this on to another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smart-ass young person.

sabtu kemarin...

kondangan sama adam (dan ayahnya tentunya)!

sebenernya ini kali kedua kondangan sama adam. tapi pengalaman pertama kondangan sama adam gak banget dan gak bisa dihitung berhasil. kenapa? karena pas itu si bocil lagi ngantuk beraaatzz... jadi sebelom masuk gedung tuh dia udah leyep-leyep gitu, eh pas masuk gedung denger berisik-berisik langsung nangis kejerlah dia, udah digendong-gendong juga masih tetep ngamuk, eh pas naik mobil (dengan posisi masih digendong emaknya) langsung tidur puleeeess banget sampe rumah, dan kita pun ga sempet salaman sama yang punya hajat. -.-"

terus terus yang cerita sabtu kemaren gimana?
nah... pas kondangan kemaren tuh si bocil berangkat dengan kondisi kenyang dan ngantuk juga (sama seperti kondisi kondangan pertama). udah ketar-ketir kan ini takut bocilnya ngamuk lagi. eeh... pas baru setengah jalan ternyata doi udah terkantuk-kantuk di carseatnya... terus bobo! langsung deh menginstruksikan pak suami untuk bawa mobil dengan slow motion. pas nyampe lokasi (kali ini kondangannya di rumah) si bocil masih tidur juga. hhmmm... biasanya kalo baru bobo terus kebangun bakal ngamuk juga nih. tapi yawda pelan-pelan doi dilepas dari carseatnya trus dipasangin ke gendongan. masih belum bangun. alhamdulillah... terus masuk deh ke tempat kondangan kita itu. adam masih bobo pules. terus salaman sama mantennya. adam masih bobo pules. terus makan siang disana. adam masih bobo pules. dan terakhir pas keluar dari acara baru deh si bocil celingak-celinguk bangun. bhihihik... bingung kali yaa pas kebangun udah di gendongan emaknya... :))

lesson learned : jangan berani ganggu-ganggu jam tidur adam, kalo ngga dia bakal cranky pisan. kayak siapa?? *tunjuk diri sendiri* jadi kalo emang doi ngantuk, mendingan dibikin tidur dulu, dibiarin pules, baru deh diangkut kemana-mana, karena nantinya pun kalo bangun setelah puas tidur gak bakalan rewel. :)

beberapa saat sebelum tertidur pulas... zzZZzz.

si bocil baru melek pas mau pulang... emaknya mah tetep dong narsis :p

oiyaaaa... akhir bulan ini (menjelang ulbulnya adam yang ke-5) sepupunya ryan bakal nikah di lampung! dan ada rencana mau ke lampung bareng keluarga besar dengan bis sewaan! busyeeeett!! mamaknya si adam langsung parno... ntar gimana ya kalo adam ngantuk minta digendong-gendong? gimana ya kalo adam ga bisa bobo karena keberisikan? carseat bisa ga sih ditaro kursi bis? kalo ntar adam pup membaui seisi bis dong? ntar mau ganti pospak dimana ya? rempong ga yah neneninnya ntar? ribet ga ya bikin susu di bis? adam bakal nyaman gak ya selama perjalanan yang lumayan lama itu? dst dst dst. *emaknye belom pede* jadi... yaa kita lihat ntar aja deh jadinya si bocil tampan jadi apa nggak menyebrangi pulau di akhir bulan ini...
