Interview your parents and grandparents and ask them the two below questions.
1. What are the biggest changes in the environment since you were my age?
2. In what ways did you care for the environment when you were my age?
Room 8 blog your answers from your interviews under the comment part so I can put them on our blog.
PLEASE also read the below two posts as it has your learning intentions and big questions in our new inquiry.
Thanks - Mrs C-B

My dad Tony says
The city has grown but we still have green grass and all the gardens.
They had to put rubbish in the bin
because we where told not to litter
the environment was not talked about and burning back yard rubbish
and coal fires was normal.

My Nana Collen says
Groceries were all sold loose eg:cheese was cut from a big wheel.
At the butchers meat was wrapped up in brown paper.
Groceries were put into brown paper bags not plastic.
There wasn't many cars people walked or caught cable cars,trains or buses.
Nana said people didn't worry about the enviroment, they didn't talk about it.
My Nana Kay said
There wasn't many cars so there was less polution.They didn't have alot of rubbish cause there wasn't alot of foods in cans or bottles, and they put all their food scraps in a hole in the garden. People use to grow all their own veges and made their own jams and presevered fruits. Nana said they also made new foods out of left overs from meals eg: Bubble and squeek was made by frying up left over swede, cabbage and potato.
Nana also said they didn't talk about the emvirment

my grandma Betty says:
"We did not have washing machines".
"All the washing was boiled in a copper".
"There was no super markets,there was only dairys,NO weekend shops".
"If you wanted a penny ice cream you had to eat in a shop"!
"Espically if you wanted to go to the toilet at the gardens you'd have to run to mummy and ask for a penny or two to put in the slot at the door."!!!
"Then if we had a birthday-party for afternoon-tea we had pikletes all made by our mothers in a coal range, which our dads had to sweep out the chimney and clean the flue, then he put the soote on our garden".

My Mum and Dad say
Cities and towns are growing.
Where there were once paddocks and bush, there are now suburbs.
Societies are not as safe as they were.
We are more conscious of recycling and pollution.
Landfills are more efficient.
Grandad said they didn't know to care for the envirnment when he was young. No one talked about the ozone layer, they had never heard of recycling and they used to throw out all their rubbish. They used to get rid of waste in big huge burn ups every week, even at the dump. He said supermarkets were different, you couldn't buy meat there, and his dad was a butcher and used to sell meat off a horse drawn cart. There were no disposable nappy packs, and some people used to bury bad nappies in the garden!!
