ARE WE GREENER? When our parents were young, recycling wasn´t like now. I think our parents and grandparents recycled more because they recycled almost everything for their daily life. There was a person that if you give them cans to recycle they gave you money. That doesn´t exist now. They recycled milk bottles too. Now we use Treta Bricks so we do not recycle them. In my opinion we were greener than now.
