Witnessing empowerment and awareness evolving in others as it happens, and knowing how important that is for the future. You almost couldn't not write this post. Thanks.

Have just come from the green building conference West Coast Green in San Francisco where I heard a high school senior talk about what got him involved in civic sustainability activities. I was very inspired listening to him. First off it was his grandmother who took him at age 12 to help out in a variety of community service activities. Then it was teachers in his school that gave him opportunities and steered him toward broader activities that allowed his leadership skills to develop. He spoke passionately and in a young and real manner of speaking. One of the opinions he has come to hold is that if you don't get involved in your community, you don't deserve to live there. I came away knowing that we all need to be mentors to youth in whatever ways we can. Look forward to more about the wind dialog. Great post, John!
