During the war there were scrap metal, milkweed pods and paper collections, so these could be recycled to turn into war weapons or items that would help the war effort out.
The milkweed pods were collected to make life preservers for the Navy. The country was already used to saving and salvaging every resource that they had available. The motto "WASTE NOT, WANT NOT" was already engrained in the countries people from surviving the depression.
The scrap metal was recycled into bombs, etc. Our high school did not have a year book during my Junior and Senior year, to help with the paper shortage.
To this day, I still look at an object through this prism, and can find new uses for something about to be pitched as useless.
Wisdom--God has given us so much in natural resources and trusts us to use these resources wisely, so future generations can benefit. How are we doing with this trust?
