So I don't blame them for not voting. What's the point of voting when they're all beholden to big industry. It's a change of cast but that's about it. I have grandchildren, I have a commitment to the future. I think what is really important now is a coming together of youth and elders.
Elders are very marginalized in our society, but they are a repository of knowledge and experience.
They remember a time when we didn't throw things away. When we used less and yet in so many ways the world was a richer place in terms of community, biodiversity and experience. We've got to inform our children that there are other ways. Having the Nike swoosh is not the key to happiness. Because those places aren't there anymore.
