Now if we could only farm more wood and oil.
Remember when Alaska was called "Seward's Folly"??
Remember the things that were rationed during World War II like gasoline???
Remember when our furniture and houses were made of solid wood and not plastic components?? When newspapers were used to wrap garbage and there was no such thing as a plastic bag?? When our rope was made of hemp not fiberglass.
Distorting history makes for distorted conclusions.
If the kids of today knew what really went on in years gone by, they would find out that the old "save everything and "waste not, want not" generations before them were the "real" conservationists.
