Guardian Bookshop Notes:

With the current national obsession with being green, healthy and saving the planet, and the government imposing many rules to protect both us and the world we live in, it is perhaps surprising to find that our parents and grandparents were a bright, dazzling green in their youth. Forced into austerity by the Second World War and its aftermath, being resourceful and thrifty was a way of life; one we could learn much from today.

This book consists of insights into austerity years and the lessons we can learn from them. It aims to offer a look at different generations that show similarities in how they preserve their futures and resources.
