I disagree with this article

1. Maybe I'm taking this the wrong way but I feel like the author is sort of saying that the green thing is a bad thing. The reason we have "the green thing" is that past generations found plastic, spread it around the world, and didn't see the problem with it. Then they died and we inherited the plastic, so we decided to actually do something instead of letting plastic spread even further.

2. we need to move forward with technology, because if we try to go back imagine how many people would have died from Covid 19, at this stage, the human species could have almost gone extinct. Think about it, nowadays we can just press a button and a message can go around the world, but back then they would have had to send a letter, which would've been on a plane or a boat that would have to have at the very least thirty six people, probably more, because of passengers and then that letter would be pointless because one of those people would probably have the coronavirus so we'd learn about it . . . . . like a lot of countries did:
by getting it.

3. humans have known about the problem with plastic for for sixty years, so how come it's only recently that we've actually done something about it? Oh and while you were being good for the environment a couple of million tons of plastic were being created, and you weren't actually doing anything about it. I mean sure you might have been what we now call "green" but what about those companies that make those paper bags? what about all the trees being cut down for the sole purpose of being scribbled on by children? I bet you didn't have "recycling" then so of course every single paper bag needed new trees cut down .

4. we have been told and told again that past generations got us into this mess, but which past generations? was it your parents generation? your grandparents?please don't blame us for when we were born.

I agree with the article because

1.  in the past they reused glass milk bottles and jars instead of  buying plastic ones and throwing them away.
2.  instead of buying disposable nappies that can only be used once the used fabric nappies that could be washed and reused over and over
3. not as many people had cars and people didn't travel to other countries as much as we do now so there wasn't as much pollution.
4.  people used to make and keep things like clothing, toys and furniture rather than buying new stuff and then throwing it away when they didn't want it any more, or no longer needed it.
5. in the old days there wasn't as much power being used because they didn't have all the technology and devices we have now, which was better for the environment.

# data[].attributes.body
I partially agree with what this person has to say and here are my reasons

1) some things were better in the early 20th century  such as less waste due to a poorer economy  but still was a lot of misuse of fossil fuels and environments ruined due to the world war, unfortunately that was until the invention of plastic which caused amongst other things, larger scale mining operations in order to get more oil to manufacture more plastic thus doing more damage to the environment and creating a higher demand for electricity to power new devices so their ended up more power plants use coal and other fossil fuels and sending toxins into the air.
2) It may not be our fault that we were born into this mess, but that does not give us a right to mess up this planet even more and blame it on earlier generations, though fortunately more and more people are becoming more aware of the present issue of global warming and deciding to do something about it, even small things like bringing your own shopping bag or using your car less or growing your own veges can make a difference.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree and disagree with this article because:

1. Past generations have reused lots of stuff to help sustain things and not having to go and buy things at a store or shop. They reused items such as bottles, brown paper bags or newspaper, and even babies diapers or nappies.

2. The past have tried to change the world by making it an environmentally friendly place to live. Solar panels, turbines, electric cars and loads more have been made to help with climate change and pollution. Older generations have made a huge contribution to our cleaner lives today, which has helped us realise how much better we could do in making the place cleaner. Past generations have made us think deeper into what the world could look like if we all did their bit in making the world a clean, green, healthier place to live.

3. People have evolved. Tv's, washing machines, cars from generations before. They started out small and were made into things. Each generation from the past has done something to make the place better. They have learned from their mistakes and taken that abroad and really thought about how to use it in maybe a better way. Generations before did live in in a world the same today but that doesn't mean we are doing everything wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
I Disagree with this article because:

1. The older generations used others things wastefully that are not mentioned in this article like oil and coal. This is a lot more 2 sided than the article portrays it.

2. We are trying to save the environment more than they were.They didn't Know they had to but we do so we are.

3. The generation described in this piece of writing are portrayed as angels even though they weren't the greatest for the environment. Who discovered plastic? Them.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with the article because…

I disagree with this article because pollution was here before we were. The lady in the article made it seem like we were the cause of pollution and global warming and that we were doing the wrong thing.

1. The problem of global warming and pollution was already around way before we were born. The lady in the article may have not had the “green thing” around when she was younger, but she can’t blame us for this problem that was already a problem before we were even on this planet. Pollution and global warming was here before we were. How can it be our fault?

2. The lady in the article said that kids walked or biked to school. Think about it. Nearly all the kids that live close enough to school walk, bike or scooter to school. If they live far away they catch a bus or get a lift from their parents whilst they go to work. Sometimes they even get their parents to drop them halfway and then they bike or scooter to school.  Even some adults walk or bike to work and only take the car or bus if they live far away or have a whole lot of heavy stuff to carry. So it's not that different from back then.

3. People back then were probably more sustainable with their milk bottles that got dropped off and picked up every day and with their non plastic shopping bags. They used paper or fabric instead. Then they started introducing plastic because they were cutting down too many trees. So plastic started taking over the world. Literally. Now we are trying to use more paper and fabric instead of plastic bags. To reverse the plastic pollution. But that's not getting rid of all the plastic that's already been used and is floating about in the ocean strangling penguins and choking turtles.

This is why I disagree with the article. The people who came before us have destroyed our planet and left it for us to clean up and fix. That’s going to be easier said than done.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with the article here are my reasons why:

1. Even though the past generations were more sustainable than we are now we have all contributed in making this mess. It is not our fault that we were born into this mess but we have all made it worse in some way. The article states the good things that past generations have done and bad things that present ones have. Our generation was born into this mess and now we along with future generations are going to be the ones to suffer from it.

2. In the article it says that we are the ones who are making this mess but that is not completely true because many past generations have also helped in some ways. Past generations are actually the ones who started this when they originally discovered plastic and thought it was a useful resource. Although we can't exactly blame them because it can be very useful and it only actually became a problem when people started misusing it.

3. Somethings haven't changed from the past. In the article the lady said that children biked walked or got the bus to school and that hasn't really changed. There are also other things that haven't really changed including brown paper bags. We sometimes still use them but not as much as older generations. We do have more experienced technology but that doesn't mean we are the causers of this mess. Cars have existed for quite a few generations and it is not our fault that they let out lots of gases.

4. If we still lived in the same way that older generations did we may be helping the environment but we wouldn't have discovered the cures to many deadly diseases that scientists have discovered. There are many diseases that have wiped out many people in past generations because we didn't have cures back then. Thankfully scientists have discovered cures for some very deadly diseases that they wouldn't have discovered if we lived like our grandparents.

5. Technology is a lot more advanced than it used to be meaning we have things like electric cars and buses which are better for the environment. We also have much easier ways of keeping in contact including emailing, video calling and texting. Which can be very useful especially if you are stuck at home. Scientists have been able to discover more useful information like how to cure diseases because of this advanced technology. They have even been able to learn a lot more about the human body and how it works.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree and disagree with this article because:

1. Past generations reused items better than we do today even though we pride ourselves on being the "Greener, healthier, generation". They reused bottles, paper bags, and even diapers.

2. Things evolving, such as, TV's, Washing machines, cars and things like that are a normal part of life. We evolved from little organisms, TV's evolved from black and white projectors, cars evolved from horse pulled carriages etc. Each generation has evolved and learnt from the mistakes from the last and just because the world isn't the same as how people used to live in it doesn't mean that we're doing it wrong.

3. We're trying to make the world healthier. Solar panels, banning plastic bags, electric cars, alternative energy, and even more are all things that Gen Z has done to stop things such as pollution, climate change etc. so while older generations have done their part to help the environment we have helped too.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that the older generation did not contribute to climate change as much as we do today.

Here are some reasons why:

1. They reused things more than we do like milk bottles, paper shopping bags for covering  books and so they did not have as much need to recycle stuff. All of our plastic bottles and bags have to get recycled or put in the bin.

2. They used less electricity because they didn't have so many electrical appliances for example treadmills at the gym, ipads, dishwashers, dryers and more than one tv in the house. There are more but I won't name them all.

3. People back then didn't buy as many new clothes and throw them away they passed them down to family and friend members. Today people buy more new clothing and fashion trending clothes and throw them away creating more waste and wasting resources like cotton, nylon, wool. Transporting clothes around the world these days also creates pollution with shipping.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with the article, here are my reasons why:

1)  We were all born into a world   with these problems, but the article made it seem  like it was entirely our generation in the wrong. We didn't get a say in whether we wanted the world to be filled with these problems, because it was already filled with them a long time ago.  It also pointed out everything they did well like we don't do those things, it pointed out the negative things that we do but none of the positive things. It's not fair that they talk about how we have huge tvs when not everyone has a huge tv, the point author is exaggerating, we have one tv in the whole house, we hang our washing on the line when the weather is nice, and when possible, we bike or walk where we can. And I, (as well as loads of other people) still get clothes from my older brother or cousins. The article said all these things that some people nowadays do wrong, even though it's only some people and loads of people don't do them. The article seems to say that we (and our parents) are the ones making this mess, but many past generations are far more responsible. Cars have been around for a long time, and it's the adults who chose to drive them, so that isn't our fault either. People found plastic and thought that it would be a useful resource, but they didn't know that it would be something that would hurt our planet. So we can't blame them. Plastic only became a problem when people started to misuse it by packaging things in it and making loads of things out of it. But no one meant for all this to happen, they didn't know that doing what they have done would put our planet in danger. We can't change the past ,because it has already happened and there's no going back, we can only make sure that the world is as good as it can be for future generations, because that is our job.  Because don't we want the best for the future generations?

2)  Yes, technology does have disadvantages, but there are more advantages than disadvantages. Due to so much advanced technology, we have a lot more data and we're able to keep track of whats happening in the world much better than the generations before us. Another example of an advantage is the situation we're in right now, the lock-down. We can video-call people, text people, and in general keep in contact. Whereas, if we didn't have computers or phones, we would find it much harder to contact people, because the post times are reduced, and in some places like Pidgin bay, you can't post anything. Posting and sending letters to other countries means it has to be shipped or sent via plane, which both uses up a lot of energy and fuel.  Would you prefer to send someone a urgent letter that could get delayed and may arrive a lot later than you meant it to arrive, or would you send a quick, short email  that will arrive in someones inbox within minutes?

Also, we still lived like our grandparents, then scientists wouldn't have advancements, meaning a lot of people would still be suffering from diseases that many people generations before us suffered from and we now have cures for. Would you rather we go back to that?

3) The woman in the article said that her kids biked, walked, or took the bus to school. Well, it's not actually that different now, most of those who live close enough will bike, scooter, or walk to school, while people who live far away either take the bus or get their parents to drop them off on the way to work, meaning it's not using much more energy and fuel than it would if they didn't. The buses are going to run whether the school kids use them or not, so we may as well use them if we can! And I'm sure that if the those people lived closer the would probably bike, scooter, or walk to school. Maybe they did it more than us, but we still do it when we can! So how different is it now?

I'm not saying that the older generation is in the wrong, and there are a lot of things that they did better than we do now, like returning the bottles to be reused. We also have it a lot easier than they did. I  don't think any generation is completely responsible for these problems. We are all partly responsible, even if we think we haven't, we have all in some way contributed to this problem.  We have all done something to make this problem worse/bigger, therefor it is everyone job to fix this problem, but not every generation is actually trying to fix it. We can't blame anyone for this problem,  but we should all to our best to fix it and remind others to help too.

Because there are more advantages that disadvantages in the world we live in today, I have chosen that I disagree.

(Is this too long? I had so many ideas to write down and now I feel like I've written a lot more than I should've.)

# data[].attributes.body
I mostly agree with the statement shown in this writing here are some reasons why

1.yes,back in "the old days" people did not have the labour saving devices we have today, witch can be good and bad, how can it be bad? because the labour saving devices we use today leave us time to do the things we love,or maybe even make new labour saving devices so we can advance as a species.

2.if we make new labour saving devices we may end up automating all the jobs, we will have more people losing there jobs.That sounds bad right? however it can be fine,because then we have people to fix the machines
then we automate the payment into the human employees bank account,then we pay automatically pay there bills,them before you know it there are buying your groceries. soon the machines are so good at keeping them self running that you barely need to work. the human species has entered the automatic era

3. after that we will eventually either make a AI to power full for its own good or populate other planets
then solar system and avoid our own stars implosion and set out for a new solar system. we will become a galaxy wide web of inter connected hubs.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that the past generations were better at being sustainable.
1. They reused items we throw away today and used them in really clever ways. For example reusing the paper bags that they got from the groceries as a personalised cover for their school books
2. Instead of using things that use heaps of electricity for example a dyer, they hung their washing out on the washing line to let the sun and wind dry their clothes. Also, they used stairs as opposed to using a elevator or escalator.
3. Lastly, instead of using cars to travel either a short or long distance they walked or biked. Even if they travelled in a vehicle they would do it in large groups like buses. So there were less fumes going into the air.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree and agree with this article because:
1. The article is making our generation like we did all the mistakes. Yes we do play a huge part on whats going on today but that doesn't mean the past generation didn't have any impact on us today. They had a chance to stop this but no one who had the power had the courage to stand up for the environment.

2. The world is constantly evolving and changing and we cant blame this generation from changing. The 16 or 1700's were different to the 18 and 1900's. We also cant stop the electronics from evolving to benefit our files or blame them for our wrong doings today. We need to stop pointing fingers at each other or the different generations that we grew up on but we can do things to help together now.

3. Now I'm not saying there's nothing we can do to help cause there's defiantly a lot we can improve on like the way we use transport or our choices of how we carry or food for example reusable containers. But that also means people in power have to change. Its not just our fault this is happening it is the people in power to greedy for money and think that the future isn't their problem.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that past generations had a better  understanding of reusability. and sustainability

1.There was least plastic used and thrown away items which meant that things like milk bottles which were glass were washed and reused and not thrown away.  We are trying to learn from this and have better recycling habits and special places that recycle some of our items and make them into new usable things.

2.   We are now looking back at      some of the older generation habits and have implemented them into our modern lives i.e. reusable shopping bags or the supermarkets use brown paper bags like they did in the old days.

3. People use cars and airplanes more these days which has meant that the planets pollution levels have increased, however, we are more aware of the damage it is now causing and how we have created this issue.  People are now being encouraged to use  more sustainable methods of transport like walking or biking like they did in the old days.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree because we were born into a world full of problems and the article made it seem like we created the problems.
- Back in those days there was no recycling of rubbish so everything went straight to the rubbish landfill which is not good for the environment. Being able to recycle now enables what was called rubbish in the past to be able to be used again to become new products. Also recycling is a more cost effective option than using raw products so instead of digging up minerals you can use recycled products,for example aluminum can and motor vehicles.
- In the article it says they used paper but in the 80s and 90s people were taught to use more plastic because they were cutting down too many trees and it was a cheaper alternative to paper but now because we started using more plastic we are using more paper to try and save the oceans from plastic.
- Without some of the modern technology scientists wouldn’t have found some of the cures for deadly diseases we have today because we wouldn’t have been able to make some of the advancements we have made now.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the writer, because we shouldn't blame the older generation for the current situation we are in.

1.As the old lady pointed out, they used less of the disposable / single use items and made use of what they had.

2.The current generation uses more electric and motorized appliances / technology. Unlike the older generation which used more human - powered things / less technology.

3.Even though the older generation wasn’t intentionally trying to save the environment, they naturally used less resources.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree and disagree because:

1. They may not have had the 'green thing' in the older generation and they were a lot more sustainable but this was possibly because plastic wasn't really an option back then. I would like to have seen what would have happened if plastic was available back then and seen whether people would have continued to live sustainably or whether they would have used the plastic for everything, much like we do now.

2. Since plastic was invented, we have chosen to use it, rather than continuing to live sustainable lives and now that our generation is more informed about how the plastic is effecting our planet we aren't choosing to change the way we are living. So if we didn't use any plastic, how different would our world be? Devices use plastic, TV's, fridges, kitchen ware and takeouts.

3. If we did small things to stop using plastic, such as reusing glass bottles for milk, buying things at bulk stores and bringing bottles to refill for things like dish liquid, soap, shampoo and conditioner.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with the article because of the following reasons:

1. Well yes, technology does have disadvantages but there are more advantages than disadvantages like if you want to talk to a friend who is in a different country if would be a lot more efficient to send a text rather than a letter because the letter would either be shipped or sent to the person via a plane and both of those things use a lot of fuel and energy.

2. In the article the woman said that in her generation kids didn't use cars to go to school instead  they walked and biked. But most kids that live close to school walk, scooter or bike to school anyway and i'm sure if  other kids lived closer to school they would be a lot more likely to walk, scooter or bike to school.

3. If we were still living like our grandparents then we wouldn't have made scientists advancements and we wouldn't have found cures to deadly diseases.

# data[].attributes.body
I am neutral because

1. Our generation were brought into a world of plastic , when we were all born everyone was all ready use huge amounts of plastic and we cant help that.

2. I think that it is not really our grandparents generations fault that we have so much plastic  because plastic wasn't really a popular thing until the 1960's.

3.  I think that it is very important that now our generation makes a big effort to stop what is happening to the earth by not littering and stop using so much plastic.

# data[].attributes.body
I am neutral because yes, in the article it outlines what we're doing wrong, but I think that it's because we're trying to avoid being as bad as the generation before us, resulting in the fact that we turned out to be as bad as they were. But we're only human, so we do make mistakes. But what matters is that we learn from them, so here are my reasons for believing this:

1) The generations before us didn't have a problem where they have too many machines, but they did have a problem with too much plastic. And they also had world wars which made them stop using too much power and home appliances so that they could help their country.

2) Yes, our generation uses a lot of petrol. But, we weren't the ones who messed up the sky in the first place. We're just following in their footsteps which is equally as bad. Just because we didn't do it in the first place doesn't mean that we aren't to blame. We all are.

3) Sure, we do use a lot of power to help even in the tiniest of ways, like modern day Elevators. But they aren't there because we want to be lazy. They're there to help people with disabilities and people who are just to old to go up that many flights of stairs.

# data[].attributes.body
I am neutral with this article because although before our generation people did a lot more without electricity and they depended more on themselves than technology, it isn't fair to blame it all on us as we haven't had much of a part to play in this.

I believe we could do better with the way we get around -  we would be much better off if we got around biking and walking and only using cars if it is way to far to get there on our own. also now days we could also do much better off using push blade lawn mowers as it would be an unnecessary use of power for electric ones.

for most things I agree that we do not need so many things like electric blenders and bubble wrap (although I love bubble wrap and Toby my cat loves it too) and quite a lot of those sorts of things are not needed and only make things more convenient for us.

In conclusion I believe we should be doing better, but none of this is entirely our fault because we were born into this and haven't had much of a choice so we shouldn't be blamed on what is only partly our doing.

# data[].attributes.body
I am neutral about the article because:

1. The older generation didn’t have the issue of finding a way to reuse their everyday life essentials, but what they did have was a lack of data and information about the changing world. I doubt that the people in that time had a sufficient amount of accurate knowledge to pinpoint what they might have been doing, if they even knew about it! The important thing is that we learn from the past, and make sure to walk backwards into the future, to ensure that we see, acknowledge and remember our past issues.

2.  I also am neutral about the article because yes, the older generation did have some up and downs in their Eco system, such as the war, and not having a sufficient waste land solution's, but we need to remember as the present generation of this time, that we have and are making mistakes to. We need to stop avoiding these

controversies and recognize that we are all to blame, because we all have had our disadvantages in life.

3. As our generation tends to have the reputation and message that we are lazy, incompatible with lifestyle, and some of the time, experts on doing nothing,  but just because we do things differently doesn't  necessarily mean we do them wrong. As our world progresses, our race has evolved to new needs, like lifts for the disabled, food replacements, and more devices, but not all of these are as impracticable as the older generation think.  Differences come in all shapes and sizes, all types of smart, and all generations. We are all to blame.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this article because in the olden days they weren’t as advanced as us so they had no lazy way of doing things so they did it themselves instead of relying on electronics, cars and other things we have now.

To support that statement I will say that they didn’t have many ways of transport except horses or walking so they didn’t need petrol. That's the same as lawn mowers they had push lawn mowers that when pushed a blade spins and cuts the grass instead of the pull cord makes the lawn mower run and you just had to push it.

Another idea to support my statement is that they didn’t use plastic so they couldn't pollute the environment as much as we do now with garbage. Also they didn’t use so much electricity so they used the sun to dry their clothes or they used the lawn mowers in the second paragraph.

A final idea to say that the people in the past were better than us at protecting the planet is that they had ways to exercise and work at the same time so they were fit and healthy.

To conclude I agree with this article is that they didn’t have an easy way out of doing the hard work.

# data[].attributes.body
Reason 1: I Believe that back in the old days they didn't have “ The green thing” But they didn't have all these electrical appliances unlike we do today they didn't drive cars every wear like we do today

Reason 2: I Believe that my generation is trying to build all those fancy things while back in the old days with the things they had you would never hear about climate change or the ice caps melting so I think all this technology we are trying to bring in today is ruining our environment

Reason 3: People say that the old people aren't doing enough for our environment but they actually did a better job then us for a big amount of years the reason they don't do much is because they are use to how it was back in the old days when everything wasn't so advanced

# data[].attributes.body
1) I believe that if we couldn’t have done the same as our grandparents because the behavioral nature of humans is to evolve. To have bigger, better than everybody else.

2) The economy would have basically shut down as we would have barely any scientific advancements. By staying the same as our grandparents any new things would be shunned as ridiculous or lable the people who made it as lunatics.

3) The cycle of earth is that species grow and evolve until finally they are perfectly adapted to their environment and we are changing the way we think about plastic because of evolution.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that what the writer was saying was right because what they did back then was so much better for the environment and the people back then were also so  much more innovative than we are now, examples of that being using paper bags as school book covers and using newspaper to cushion fragile mail when you posted it. Also people were a lot less lazy back then, because they didn't have any of the fancy technology that we have now, they could tolerate climbing up a few flights of stairs without having to take an elevator up the building. Another thing is that people would have been a lot more fit back then, because they walked or rode their bikes places without taking their cars everywhere. All in all, I believe that it was much more of a sustainable environment back then and we should incorporate more of that sort of stuff into our generation and have a better attitude towards the environment.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with the statement in this text because of the following:

1)  All technological advancements come at a cost, but most of the things mentioned in the text are things that make people's everyday life better.

It also opens up job opportunities for people to make or design these things.

2)   Using too much power in other countries is a slight concern, and if this was set somewhere else then then using too much electricity is a valid point bust in NZ All of our electricity is made in ways that don’t produce greenhouse gases like hydroelectric, wind power, tidal electricity and solar power. It's pollution free power which can improve people's lives.

3)    Most of what the author is saying is a massive exaggeration I mean, what’s wrong with using reusable cups and bottles? What's so bad about a GPS it can give you directions to anywhere in the world, not just a burger joint! A standard american car only has around 120 hp (horse Power) With even SUV’s coming in at around 200 hp. And also in my house we only have 1 TV in the whole house.

# data[].attributes.body
1)I agree that my generation and the generation before me disregarded the environment because they wanted to do something quicker than by walking or mixing things by hand or exercising by running on the footpath and now we use cars to go where we want to go and we use electric mixers and we go to gyms and was power by using treadmills.

2)  I agree that the old lady generation was much kinder and respected the environment much more than most people in our world including my generation and my parents' generation I still think that the old lady's generation still add to the fact that we need to start something such as the green thing to stop people for littering but my generation and the one before me  still littered or wasted power or wasted reusable thing more than the old lady's generation.

3) I agree that we waste a lot of reusable items such as milk bottles and fizzy drink bottles instead of using them again as mentioned in the article and I think if we still did the same thing as the old lady's generation we would be way better off than we are now.

# data[].attributes.body
1) I believe that if we stayed in the same course our grandparents  started we would have lead the world into a more green future because we wouldn't have accustomed ourselves to being lazy and used to having huge televisions with everything on demand.

2) The previous generation were way fitter and full of more energy because most things had to be done by had so they spend way more times moving there bodies and stretching them then us.

3) People say that our Grandparents didn't do a good job at keeping the world clean but truly, they did a way better job than us. We all love the idea of keeping the world green but most people don't go out there and make it happen. I believe that if we go back to do what our previous generation did we would lead a better path for the next.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with what the writer is saying because back in the old days they didn't have a lot of technology like we do now, they didn’t have fancy mac-books or Uber eats or big flat-screen TV's. Scientists have proven that a mobile phone has the same power and technology that was used to launch the first aircraft into space. Loads of money is being spent in this generation and money is made from paper, which comes from trees, so every time we spent one thousand dollars, that equals a whole tree. The transport that was taken back in the old days was minor compared to the transport that is taken now, kids biked to school, adult walked to work, everyone walked to stores to by there things that they wanted and lots more other things that minimise things like fuel and electricity. in the old days their food was wrapped in things like paper and cardboard instead of plastic, milk was put in reusable glass bottles and were delivered to there door I think that the old lady had better sustainability in her generation due to less fuel and electricity.
