Kids are realizing the power of now and where change comes from. its the change your creating now that matters most. Yes, theres a past and future but theres always now, the present moment. the future happens because of the steps we are taking right now. im doing good with what im doing now. im going to change the world by paying as much attention to whats happening now and how i do it.

well it is going to be their planet...all kids should be idealistic and concerned. we need less labeling in the US and more doing..hopefully it wont take total societal breakdown a total mass extinction and total economic collapse from constant increasing global billion dollar fossil fuel caused disasters to say 'gee maybe we the 'responsible' adults' should do something'.......or THINK for a change about our OWN actions....

Another giant missing is Terry Fox, started his Marathon of Hope in 1980 with a goal to raise $1 for every Canadian for cancer research. Terry achieved that goal but lost his battle with cancer in 1981. To this day, countries around the world still hold annual Terry Fox Runs in September. Quite a legacy this young man has left behind.

It is reassuring a thousand times over when you realize that there are young people who want to HELP THE PLANET AND OTHER PEOPLE and not degrade it, as so many do through graffiti vandalism.

Great list! One person I might consider including is Craig Kielburger, founder of Free The Children: an international network of children aimed at eradicating child slave labor around the world.
