The new generation is collectively becoming conscious of local and world events in a completely different way from previous generations.
There is an ability to identify as a group with what is happening in the world and to take power through communication.
The ability to related to others through cooperation is a new recent trend in American culture.
After generations promoting independence, we are seeing a new kind of interdependence.
Awareness of the cost of consumption is guiding major life decisions.
Growing up with the desire to see a greener planet is influencing home practices from elementary school on up.
Careers based on biosphere consciousness are emerging.
The speed of communication is allowing rapid support for causes.
Fund raising can be practiced by the very young.
Idealism can gain support and be put into action quickly.
It is empowering to see the attraction and support of this idealism.
Suddenly, the power of the vote is being engaged as this generation becomes of age.
There is strong resistance to the destructive environmental practices of the past.
There is increasing awareness of the self-serving and well-funded efforts against the public good.
There are increasing movements to improve, restore, and expand what serves the public good.
The energy of idealism combined with the real and personal tragedies this generation is facing is producing a powerful political and economic force.
It is a worthy battle.
