Waste Not, Want Not
During WWII Britain had to economise on raw materials, save on energy and salvage scarce commodities, encouraged by a powerful propaganda machine. Whether the message was to grow your own vegetables, make do and mend, or recycle paper, uppermost in everyone’s mind was the need to be sparing in the use of meagre resources. While few may now remember those years of rationing and blackouts, the lessons from the past can teach us how to make better use of limited resources today. This exhibition is part of London’s Brands, Packaging and Advertising Museum’s new initiative ‘Packaging our Sustainable Future’, sponsored by Tesco, and it is being held between 22nd January - 29th November 2009.
