Back in the early '60's my mom made us 4 kids go outside and "dig dandelions" with a paring knife b/c she didn't like pesticides. Her thinking was "if it kills the weeds, what else is it bad for?" By early '70's we were recycling almost everything and my friends thought we were strange for "sorting our trash" and then Dad would drive it across town to the recycle center. We were early environmentalists. In retrospect, it's too bad more people didn't think that way back then.
But with 3 daughters, my mom's most memorable phrase was "a man won't buy the cow if the milk is free".
