It's their future,  the younger generations. 

Our future, the older generations, is limited.  To the here and now, the moment.  Wether we know it or not.

So some of us decided to fight a seemingly hopeless battle to save the planet from corporate greed.  Young, old, or inbetween, we are vastly outnumbeed and underfunded.

We need each other, from that two year old with her crayons, protesting the river run hydro project in BC.  To the enviro blogger typing from a hospital bed, fighting for decades and about to pass the torch.  And pass on into the great unknowable.

As Al Gore says in this speech at the TED conference, it's a privelege to face a challenge this overwhelming.

The hopeless battles are the only ones worth fighting!!  Onward.
