Do any of my fellow enviros - blaggers, teachers, rabble-rousers, and "doomsayers" especially - get the sense that it's too late to convince people of, say, anthropogenic climate change? That all of this educating, this press, is working on a generation that needs to be green already, or we're done for?
I don't know that I'd be much good in the arena we most need to fill now, but there it is, almost empty, only the unusual living and shadows of the unborn starved sitting in the stands, new and strange obstacles cropping up all the time.
Push it, enviros. Get in the arena. In general, I believe in "mainstreaming" green - in making it easy, reflexive, the natural thing to do for us unnaturally inclined humans - but we ought to be better. More of us have to be, before everyone is, and before we have a shred of hope to avert catastrophe.
