The Nostalgia continues! Last week, thanks to our co-host and many loyal fans we took a walk down memory lane and remembered the things we no longer use or do. Jamaicans have been recycling and repurposing for generations. Back, when many of us in the Diaspora were growing up, there were many creative ways things were preserved and reused (repurposed). For example, do you remember what was used to keep ants out of foods items? What was used to make a gig, or the (sling-shot)catapult? Triggered any memories? This week’s co-host will share memories of the creative and innovative ways things were re-used on the family farm in Sav-la-Mar Westmorland. More evidence that, long before recycling and repurposing was fashionable: Jamaicans were On It!
