For all you youngsters out there, June Cleaver was Beaver Cleaver’s mom on ‘Leave it to Beaver.’  The quintessential American mom, June kept the Cleaver ship floating safely over life’s frothy seas without any major catastrophes. Here are just a few of the ways June kept it retro-green.  Any fans of June should feel free to jump-in and add to the list.

• Like many moms of the 50′s and 60′s June was all about DIY.  She sewed, crocheted, did needlepoint, and could whip-up a mean angel food cake or meal, from scratch.  No fast food for the Cleavers.
• She never, ever, bought bottled water.  Every ounce of the Cleaver H2O came right out of the tap.
• June was a class act and even wore a pearl necklace when doing her very green gardening.
• The Cleavers went strictly local when shopping for food and supplies and had their milk delivered from the local, free-range dairy.
• June was low emissions.  She rarely drove the family’s Ford Fairlane.
