    Ya, m gut tells me teenagers are much more aware of just how bad it is because of their generation’s social media. I was pretty unaware at that age. I think there was a bit of a shift in societal values and the youth reflect it more as well.

    It has also steadily been getting worse and we keep telling them they are the ones who are going to get seriously shafted compared to the rest of us. That probably doesn’t help.

      I wasn’t really aware of it as a kid either, but I don’t think I ever really heard about climate change stuff until Inconvenient Truth came out. It just wasn:t something that was talked about, because we weren’t really feeling the effects.

      I’m amazed (in a bad way) at how far we’ve fallen in 25 years, and I fear for the life my child will have as an adult.
