the milkman delivered daily produce on a electric van
the milk was contained in glass bottled that were taken(recycled) when new milk bottles were dropped off at your door

you bought fish and chips(chunky fries) wrapped in paper
you went to local butchers who cut you fresh meat wrapped in grease paper
butter was but in blocks and wrapped in paper or tinfoil
you could heat a house a day for under 50p in a coin machine in your home

...
not even 20 years later
we have convenience food delivered by fossil fuel cars at a surcharge
the milk is in plastic containers that not all places will accept for recycling

fish and chips are in plastic trays
meats are in plastic shrink wrapped packaging
butter is in plastic tubs
you cant even heat a home for less than £5

and yet they say we need to be innovative and think of new idea's to change the current situation...
.. i think we need to go back to old idea's.

anyone else think of old stuff that is better than modern?
