Mother Nature

Mother Nature.
Nature is important they say and we need to take care of it but not if it comes to overpopulation. I wonder what more I can do. Sure, I could have done more as I was younger but at that time we didn't waste as much. Food wasn't wrapped three times, plastic bags weren't common and many went by Mike or walked. We didn't use the car to drive to the neighbors. There was hardly any waste. Although the trash can was emptied by the city once a week it was only 1/8 of the seize trash cans have these days. We didn't waste food. Leftovers we're common to eat once a week. We repaired what was broken, sewed what was thorn, socks and underwear included. We borrowed and lent and gave a hand. The need to buy everything new wasn't a need yet. We took care of our possessions. Clothes in the closets, shoes brushed and in the hallway. One soap for everything and the house always smelled good, fresh, inviting. There was hygiene without spray flacons. Money wasn't wasted but saved.

Could I have done more?
I could have eaten way less, because food is bad for the environment so is everything it is wrapped in. What ends up in the toilet means waste. My body doesn't need it or cannot use it. Will nature have benefit from me consuming less? To be honest I have strong doubts about it. I do not waste. House nor garden look like a dump. We care, share, are no shop aholics and do not shop or drive out of fun. We recycle and if possible buy second hand if we really need something. No, I am not sure it helps mother Nature but it's good for my wallet.
