[object Object],Youth and the climate movement “ A powerful climate movement — one capable of capturing the public imagination, defining new political identities and fully unleashing our economy — should put forth an even stronger vision of American greatness than the neoconservatives once offered. It must tap the optimism and can-do spirit embedded in our nation’s history that has driven us to overcome the daunting crises of the past. … The opportunity for such a resounding vision couldn’t be greater. The failure of the Iraq War and the collapse of the Bush presidency have left the American public hungry for an inspiring message that gives us new direction. Redefining American greatness around our inventiveness can unite us behind a common purpose, invigorating us to unleash our forces of innovation .” -- Teryn Norris

According to Wikipedia : “Social movements… are large informal groups of individuals and/or organizations focused on specific social or political issues; in other words, on carrying out, resisting, or undoing a social change.” According to young people : “We have approximately 180 members, and we are excited to help cut carbon! We wanted to show that it's not just hippies who care about global warming! We all care!!" - One of over 1000 Step It Up Events last April.
