LIVING GREEN
On my Amazon blog I wrote an article called "Living Green Before Green Was Cool"
Here is an excerpt:
Near our house was an excellent source of underground water with a pure taste. The only problem was that it was 155 feet below the surface. As a result, obtaining water was always difficult. Mother taught us to conserve water. We shampooed our hair on rainy days under the outside eve of the house, where the water came running down from the tin roof. We hand washed our delicate clothes by hand, bathed in that water beginning with the youngest and finishing with the oldest child, and finally used the water to mop the kitchen floor. We lived green before green was cool!
Also there is an excellent article about quilting with a similar slant. The author of this article experienced quilting the way my family did. It is called "GreenSpace: Quilters were green before it was cool"
Here is a little excerpt from that article: "When I was growing up, you didn't have nothing to throw away. No waste food, no waste clothes, no waste nothing."
I enjoyed this article because it was interesting to see that somebody shared my sentiments about living green.
