Great resources. I hope that more and more kids decide to go into green programs and then foster the same interests in their children. This is one of those movements that needs generational support and activity.

thanks for the link. great resource to pass along to the youth I speak to.

I think one of the most important things we can do with the green movement is to educate and excite the young people of the world. We need to create energy and enthusiasm in the coming generations. We need them to see potential not only to better the world but to form new and innovative careers. The economies and workplaces of tomorrow will not be those of today, and the youth of today will be the ones who really make the biggest differences.

A little unrelated, but I have been reading a book," Hot, Flat and Crowded" and one of the chapters talks about energy poverty and how without accessible energy in the third world, we are missing an opportunity to add to those green ideas.

We can have all the programs in the world, but if we are only tapping into 3/4 of the world's intellect, are we really doing all we can?

I think that is a brilliant point. In a new age, education is not limited to books, to the knowledge of elders or passed stories. The information technology revolution has raised the bar and when you don't have the ability, either because of lack of wealth or lack of electrical power, you are doomed to fall behind the world.
