Good evening, dear friends, let me share an interesting story with you. At the supermarket checkout, the lady asks for a plastic bag to put what she bought. The cashier reproached her that the plastic bag was not environmentally friendly. - Your generation does not understand the environmental movement. Now young people are paying for your generation that destroyed all resources! The lady kindly said to the cashier: - I'm sorry, there was no environmental movement in my time. - Yes, said the cashier, your generation did not care about environmental protection at all Still a little upset, the lady begins the story: - In my time, we returned empty bottles of milk, mineral water, beer and wine to the store, which returned them to the factories, which washed them and poured milk, water, wine, beer into them again. The bottles were recycled, and we didn’t know it was in the spirit of the environmental movement! - In my time, we climbed stairs. There were no movers like today and there were very few elevators. -We did not take a car for a kilometer or two, but we took a bicycle or went on foot. And we didn’t know it was in the spirit of the environmental movement! - We didn't know about disposable diapers: we washed diapers and dried our clothes on a rope stretched between trees or houses. -We didn't know there was a 3000 watt tumble dryer. Our laundry was dried by the sun and wind energy. - We patched clothes that went from child to child, there was no landfill or collection for resale. - We had one radio and one TV (possibly) in the house, not one in each room. The TV had a screen like a pizza box, not like today, a screen the size of Switzerland. - We had a watch for manual winding, and in the kitchen we did everything by hand, not with today's gadgets that eat more electricity than can be produced. - We didn't have electric self-propelled grass trimmers. The old, good hair that needed to be sharpened by hand was quite good! - We worked physically and we didn't have to go to weight loss clubs and run on a conveyor belt that consumes electricity ... - We possibly had one phone in the house, and today every scumbag carries it in his pocket. But, the truth is, we didn't know about the environmental movement ... - We drank water from a tap or from a cistern, from a hand or from a glass, not from a plastic bottle that is in the streets thrown at millions ... - We wrote with ink from the bottle from which we filled the fountain pen, and not with ballpoint pens that are thrown away after use ... - Our men shaved with razors that lasted, not today's razors that are thrown away after each use, But, the truth is, we didn't know about the environmental movement ... The photos were taken on the way from the village of Toponice to the Zaova monastery, right next to the memorial fountain for those killed in the People's Liberation Struggle ... ************************************************************************************************* Dobro veče dragi prijatelji evo da sa vama podelim jednu zanimljivu priču. Na blagajni supermarketa gospođa traži plastičnu kesu da stavi ono što je kupila. Blagajnica joj predbaci da plastična kesa nije ekološki u redu. - Vaša generacija ne razume ekološki pokret. Sada mladi plaćaju za vašu generaciju koja je uništila sve izvore! Gospođa ljubazno reče blagajnici: - Žao mi je, u moje vreme nije bilo ekološkog pokreta. - Da, reče blagajnica, vaša generacija nije uopšte brinula o zaštiti okoline Ipak malo uzrujana, gospođa započne priču: - U moje vrijeme smo vraćali prazne flaše od mleka, mineralne, piva i vina u dućan, koja ih je vraćala u fabrike, koje su ih prale i u njih ponovo sipale mleko, vodu, vino, pivo. Flaše su bile reciklirane, a mi nismo znali da je to u duhu ekološkog pokreta! - U moje vrijeme smo se penjali po stepenicama. Nije bilo pokretnih kao danas a bilo je i vrlo malo liftova. -Nismo za relaciju kilometar-dva uzimali automobil, već smo uzimali bicikl ili išli pješke. A nismo znali da je to u duhu ekološkog pokreta! - Nismo znali za pelene za jednokratnu upotrebu : prale smo pelene, a veš smo sušile na konopcu razvučenom izmedju stabala ili kuća. Nismo znale da ima mašina za sušenje veša od 3000 wati. Naš veš je sušila sunčeva i energija vetra. - Krpili smo odijeću koja je išla od deteta do deteta, nije bilo odlagališta ni skupljanja za preprodaju. - Imali smo po jedan radio i televizor (eventualno) u kući, ne u svakoj sobi po jedan. Televizor je imao ekran kao kutija za pizzu, ne kao danas, ekran veličine Švicarske. - Imali smo sat na ručno navijanje, a u kuhunji smo sve radile ručno, ne s današnjim gadgetima koji pojedu struje više nego što može da se proizvede. - Nismo imali električne samohodajuće mašine za šišanje trave. Stara, dobra kosa koju je trebalo ručno oštriti je bila sasvim dobra! - Radile smo fizički i nismo trebale ići u klubove za mršavljenje i trčati po pokretnoj traci koja troši struju... - Imali smo eventualno jedan telefon u kući, a danas ga svaka šuša nosi u džepu. Ali, istina je, nismo znali za ekološki pokret... - Vodu smo pili sa česme ili iz cisterne, iz ruke ili iz staklene čaše, ne iz plastične flaše kojih ima po ulicama bačenih na milione... - Pisali smo mastilom iz flašice iz koje smo punili nalivpero, a ne hemijskim olovkama koje se bacaju posle upotrebe... - Naši su se muškarci brijali žiletima koji su trajali, a ne današnjim brijačima koji se bacaju posle svake upotrebe, Ali, istina je, nismo znali za ekološki pokret... Fotografije su nastale na putu od sela Toponice do manastira Zaova neposredno pored spomen česme poginulima u Narodnooslobodilačkoj borbi...
