And I’m not talking about just the “reduce, reuse, recycle” mantra; the whole milieu of this muppet-sung message is so 70s and 80s Americana—the family, their clothing, their kitchen, the appliances, the grocery shopping… so wonderfully familiar and even endearing.

For me, once is never enough to relish the quirky magic of this bit of Sesame Street.
