It will take the current generation to affect change and I'm so glad to see many younger people promoting greater awareness of this issue. I appreciate the tips which are applicable to those of us who don't necessarily live in San Francisco. Thanks!

I can't believe we are still in discussion and debate about the issue of climate change. We need to do something yesterday, but we make it worse every single day. I believe in the collective good will of people too, especially those of us who are going to be around to deal with all of it, but there are still greedy people blocking positive change every day. It is a social justice issue and I am very thankful our generation seems more progressive than our predecessors.
