I also agree that my own carbon footprint is untenable and unfair to future generations. We must all recognize and ACT on the facts. The facts are that the environment can no longer absorb the collective byproducts and other pressures of human activity (rampant use of hormones, fertilizers, pesticides, strip mining, fracking, etc, etc.

These human activities may be performed by large companies and governments, but it is our individual choices and lifestyles that drives each factory, mine, oil rig and plastic packaging plant.

Greta is a princess in the true sense of the word. She could bring about an era of conservation while still supporting affluence and inclusion. My fear is that her mission will be thwarted by the Luddites that still believe in a flat earth and that the moon landing was faked. Dealing with that type of ignorance is on par with the lackadaisical attitude of even the most educated communities.
