WHY THE ENERGY GENERATION?
The Energy Generation™ refers to those children being born now, those recently born, and all their young parents; in short, the next generation. This is the generation that will take us into the 22nd century, into worlds unknown, into a future that will by defined by how and when they solve the energy crisis.
This is the generation who won’t just dare to think outside the box, but rather the one who will do it because it has to be done. These are the parents who will rally local support for gardens in their children’s schools and soda machines out of their cafeterias. These are the children who will grow up using less water, redefining need, and looking beyond television for entertainment. These are the babies who will grow in to adults in a world many of us will barely recognize, a world I dare dream will collect seeds in vaults as valuable as any bank’s, a world where excess will no longer be a source of pride but instead a world in which innovation and resourcefulness will return as cultural values.
This is a generation of children born with heightened sensitivity. In their lifetime they will learn methods of communication we can’t yet imagine and so too will they learn to harness energy in all ways, on the personal, community and global planes. Just watch they way they all spin when they play, around and around and never do they get dizzy. You’ve probably done it too, maybe even many times. Now imagine a whole new generation inheriting this bright blue planet, just spinning, spinning spinning . . .
There’s no way around it, The Energy Generation™ will change the world. They will, because they will have to.
