I'm not young, and I'm not American, and I haven't read all of your comments, and sure my generation has been far from brilliant, and are so often stuck in a mindset, and crazilly don't understand the cliff edge the whole world is facing, especially the ignorant appathetic West. The craziness began many decades ago, and as one of you commented people are dying of curable diseases, the pharm world is psycho pathic, the religious world is pretty psychopathic, the money world etc. etc. I applaud Generation WE and I hope that the rest of the Western world will take up their peaceful arms and bring us back from the precipice, and herald in a whole new wonderful, happy, healthy age for humanity - we don't want artificial intelligence as that is whats creating the New World Orders desires for control of the world. So great guys and gals, and this old 73 yr old is with you all the way, and with brilliant health will be around for the next 30 years to help it all happen!!

oh baby boomers,sometimes you drive me nuts but I'm better understanding what time you were living in. When I was cleaning out my basement and my mom was refusing to throw away some of her old time and neweeks from the 90's she said that the journalism isn't the same anymore. I think the competition for magazine sales before the iPad led to journalist over stating their beliefs to sell magazines. They seem so much harsher than today. Like the abortion debate while I check out my groceries. What a great place to bring up a sensitive event for young couples that were faced with a heavy choice to make. I also feel for the unhappiness and loneliness I think my parents felt. Woman were college educated but had to leave careers to be a mom. Technology has blessed me with work life blending that my mom just wasn't able to have. And there wasn't wikipedia to look up things like marriage fulfillment or mid life crisis to remind yourself your not alone in feeling from any one else. What I enjoy seeing is that social media has created communities that are kind. I think back to Monica and Bill Clinton in 1998 and how silly to make such a fuss over a 23 year old giving her boss a bj when 9/11 was 3 years away. I believe Bill Clinton was under so much stress from this drawn out bj impeachment trail that when the chance to kill bin laden was brought up he said he didn't want to deal with it now. Oops. I will say this to the baby boomers, you raised kind children. You raised children kind enough to care about WE and unity. And kind children who keep their frustrations pretty much to themselves or say as kindly with forgiveness to your generation for what they are left with today. As a 28 year old female who dealt with the "whore" and "slut" shaming double standards of the early 2000s and the Rodney king riots of the 90s, and somewhere along the line became allergic to everything food and skin wise in my 20s, I l hate my parents for divorcing the minute I left for college but love they thought it would be best for the kids to grow up with married parents( also really bad idea!, happy parents are better turns out!)

Aye aye kids, I'm a baby boomer and we changed the world, or at least our bit of it :-). I live on a community that has been living a highly civilised life off the power grid (we use solar panels) for over thirty years, hand built houses, composting toilets and our own water supply. We vote green and link up with other communities. So why does the population in general continue its lemming like race to the cliff edge of un-sustainable economic growth? That's up to you WE to figure out. Here's the baton, good luck......and good night......ps truly sorry about the mess, some of us tried

I was inspired because i felt connected. Connected to like minded people, connected to hope without outcome, connected to the wholesome force that knows how to grow and that that is about awake communities (we), thank you.

Inspired?????

What my generation couldn't do, I have hope that you will. Taking love to the extreme - really feeding, clothing, housing and educating everyone - pretty awesome!

It takes the youth to recognise the damage created by the forefathers over many generations. To create an New America will take guts and determination. They have numbers on their side, youth on theyr side and as their parents wake up to their voices they will be heard across the land and grow their organisation and strength to create a future that is inspired and has love at its heart and soul. We must stop the materialistic Me society in which we live, take responsibility for our own life and environment. Wake up, hear the call, get moving.

The inspiration in this video is from the message of sheer determination that the challenges we face are surmountable with the right leadership AND collective sacrifice can move us forward.

Great video...Well done guys, looking forward to see many more changes

I like the video as well. I feel extremely strongly that change is needed. I'm 30 years old. The thing that hangs me up is asking for government spending for the project. Government needs to have LESS involvement in all of our affairs. They need to stop regulating private business and allow companies time and money to come up with these energy solutions on their own if they so desire. Its all based on market, and what Americans want to buy. As generation "We". "We" need to take personal responsibility. Buy energy efficient items or buy less to promote your views of how the world should be. The more we demand, the more will be supplied. We run into a continuous problem. Its the problem we have now. Things we desire should never be forced upon anyone. Thats not liberty. Its what happnens all the time now. Project "We" needs to educate and vote accordingly and hope for the best. Hope that unecessary government spending will cease. Hope that people retain good morals and values. Hope that people strive for greatness. Be an example and hope others follow. Its our responsibility, not the government. We need to rely on ourselves and each other.

Our institutional paradigms are as obsolete as the dinosaurs...bringing us nearer to extinction. Time for those ego-centric role models put to rest. So while my babyboomer gen may be obsolete, my love isn't...I stand in your line - lead on!
