40. Agree that the environment is key.

The environment is the "Uber-Issue". (Not talking about rides, folks.

)

Without a livable environment, all the other "isms" and issues become moot. Unbreathable air and non-potable water will make it hard to fight any other battles.

Happily, there are so many creative and forward thinking people in different sciences and industries providing alternative and sustainable ideas on the use of different resources to meet the needs of future populations.

If we can get beyond the loud, stinking belch that is this present time's power players and their leader-- the younger generation coming along will embrace innovative solutions to basic human needs even as they embrace each other-- regardless of the surface demographics that the ruling elite have used for generations to divide the populace.

This may not be the first time that I have written this thought in this community, but let me state this again.

I do not care if "the brown" inherit the earth. I just want them to have a green and livable world to carry on the human legacy.
