I think our only real hope lies in our young people. We need children in school and young teenagers to get interested in what is, after all, their OWN future. We old ones have messed up big-time. So - with most teachers more or less forced to teach only what is in the curriculum, and most parents too busy to bother, how can the relatively few who care help our young people to become sufficiently aware of the problems we face environmentally, so that they will want to get involved in improving it?
Ideas?

I agree that education is key.
And not just informing the young of the need to be bio-friendly. I think that your right about most parents being to busy to care about whats taught and this is something that needs to change. What a huge topic, there is a need for smarter more 'caring' teachers (easier said than done, i know). There is a need
for resources in schools. Children are the biggest, most rewarding, of all the worlds resources...and for that resource to pay off education is the prime factor, at every level, from grade school to university. And imo education should be free all the way through university...(but hard, virtually impossible, i know).
LOL, and I totally disagree that you oldies have 'messed up big time'. All part of the process imo...and if mess up would be correct, it would probably be something that stretches back quite a few thousand years...
