It was Resourceful Before Recycling


       Old Traditions  New Technology

Roger's Adventures - 1948

 


Don't worry about it there is plenty: plenty of gas, plenty of fresh water, plenty of time, trees, paper. We realize all too well that this is no longer the case. As consumers/citizens we are aware of the fact that our resources are not endless, there is indeed a finite supply to all that we treasure.

Although it has been too many years to recall his name or any distinguishable features, I do remember with great clarity comments my Environmental Science professor made back in 1979. "There is not enough for everyone." Meaning our natural resources, he was also implying that there was not enough for the world's population to experience the same level of existence that we were enjoying. As young college students we weren't living an especially lavish lifestyle; I felt fortunate to have food, shelter and great trails to explore.
