The Green movement and its strategies for eco-stewardship are turning more and more mainstream each day. The Wall Street Occupation and its sister events all over the world are an outgrowth of the Green Revolution and the greening of our hearts to rise up in passionate protection for dear life. And then there are the smaller voices that are also rising up, like the voice of 11 year-old Birke Baehr.
Beyond our personal fates, most of us hope that our children will inherit a viable and life-affirming planet. I, and other adults I know, wonder about how much to tell our children. Should they know the gruesome facts of political collusions with Big Oil, Pharma, Commercial Agriculture and food production? How real is the risk of instilling depression and futility in our new generation instead of inspiration by sharing this information? Do we underestimate our children's capacity to "handle" the difficult facts?
If Birke Baehr is any measure of the sophistication of middle-aged children, then we are definitely underestimating our children. And we certainly may not have the control over their comprehension that we think we might have. While we are busy trying to protect our children from not only the perils of toxic modern life and our tainted food supply, here is a brave and smart young man taking it to the world on his own.
What does he make you feel?
