We and our kids were faced with the awful polution created by the industrial revolution and raised to the nth. power by the Victorians and have had little success in dealing with it in spite of the huge costs in trying to do so.

HER generation and beyond are facing with the crap that we've not dealt with on top of which is the awful polution WE have produced.

She's tried to raise awareness of what is taking place and that is either being ignored or not even believed by so many people.

Rather than being criticized or even worse ridiculed her achievements should be applauded and used to continue the protesting and education of people who still deny the blatantly obvious usually because they don't WANT to believe what is taking place.

Again I can only say: Hear, Hear...

She displays a far better attitude toward the environment than some displayed on this site, people who won't have to live with the consequences.
