Recycling is not as new as we might think.

On June 16, 1903, the Ford Motor Company was established. Henry Ford was the founder. This was not his first rodeo, as he had previously operated the Henry Ford Company. He left that company and took his name with him. What became of the Henry Ford Company? They became known as the Cadillac Motor Company.

Ford's Model T, which would number in the millions sold, required 100 board feet of wood to build. Ford despised waste. His motto was, "Reduce, reuse, and recycle." He was also a nature-lover, an environmentalist of his time. His escape from the stress of life was camping in the great outdoors.

Frustrated by the mountains of sawdust his lumber mills created, he and his partners sought a way to utilize the scrap wood and sawdust into a useful (and profitable) product.

An idea came to him one day as he was camped with some friends in the wilds of Michigan . After his party spent a long time collecting sufficient wood for a campfire, an idea spring in Ford's mind. Upon returning back to the lumber mill, he shared the idea with some of his partners and set to work on it.

The idea? Lumping a fistful of sawdust and cornstarch with a bit of tar to form a briquette. After charring it, it performed exactly what Ford imagined it would. He then built a charcoal briquette factory adjacent to his lumber mill where the waste from one became the fuel for the other.

A new Model T was now frequently sold with a bonus bag of Ford Charcoal Briquettes, so you could drive into the woods to camp and not worry about finding campfire wood.

So now you know. Ford not only created the modern automobile industry which takes millions to work and back each workday, but he also created the weekend grilling and camping industries.

In 1951, the Ford Charcoal Briquette Company was sold. The new company was named after Ford's real estate partner who helped him find the land to supply wood for building the early Ford automobiles- E.J. Kingsford.

Kingsford Charcoal is the largest producer of charcoal briquettes in the world

Henry Ford was a great American and what he did for this country should be taught in school! The left claims the 8 hour day with weekends off as coming from unions but in fact they are fucking lying and it came about thanks to Henry Ford. They forced Ford to unionize among other atrocities committed against the great man.

Ford also raised his workers' pay because he thought they should be able to buy the automobiles they were building.

Which probably had the add-on effect of people actually giving a shit about the job.

"Hey, I make decent pay here, I'll do my best so as to not be fired should they need to lay people off."

I made this argument Saturday evening when hanging out with friends. They had no idea. The funniest part of it was watching three of them whip out their phones to fact check me.

Ford also gave serious consideration to the 10 hr/4 day work week which is now supported by sociology degree recipients, but again he gets no credit.

I'm all for that with weekends and Wednesdays off.

And he loved his nation and neighbors enough to share the truth about the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion with them.

Ford was an American Treasure, one of the unkiked companies even to this day.

Are you certain about that? Jim Farley looks white but his early life info is scant aside from being born in Argentina as the son of a banker. Also he's Chris Farley's cousin. He looks pretty white (a lot like Chris Farley actually) but his wife is some kind of mulatto mutt or quadroon.

It's what you do that counts, calling out the genocide of the Palestinians pissed off the kikes well enough.

Environmentalism in the US didn't become a left wing thing until the 1980's and 90's; prior to that it was the conservation movement. True environmentalism has always been a right wing ideal because we are the ones thinking about how things may impact future generations.

In the US, the NRA has historically been one of the major contributors to the conservation movement, and hunters especially have always been geared towards preserving the natural world.

Interesting, TIL who invented charcoal briquettes.

And then that gosh dang bastard named Mr Hank Hill came in with them propane and propane accessories with an attitude and salesmanship that could trailblaze straight through the Mississippi River on a devilish day.

That guy could sell a propane tank to an oven I tell ya what.
