I would go one step further and say you are not near alone !!!!
The premise being brought here about how conscious and aware the younger generation is...to me is pure bunk...TOTALLY !
It is shown daily in so many ways our younger folks, in a general sense do not have a clue. That is general for sure, but once you cross the poli...cal threshold, and you really get into the under employment, etc in this country, you find that jobs are available....we have nobody remotely qualified to fill those jobs except for the older generation. A lot of time is being spent on this subject....I try to stay away from the popular cable channels and when I watch tv, and not sports, I watch the business channel and today that subject was broached not for the first time.
We need to wake up the general population of young folks......THIS IS, OF COURSE, a very general statment...but the comment you took offense to in RUBICONS post has merit. There are demonstrations to raise the minimum wage, nobody demonstrates to get into school.....folks will scream for a job but take offense at training. It IS a problem.
But, and also....climate change enters into this as one of the subjects that most young folks could care about at all. AGAIN, this does not apply to all young folks for sure.
To stay on subject, I think most responsible adults are like you, not only with climate change but with anything we are made aware of....we take greater care in those areas.
