The VirginFest event grounds were covered with trash. Covered. Nothing new there, right? Nothing generational, per se, right? But what struck me was the orientation of Millennials to run around (since their grade school days) with big smiles on their faces, talking about how we have to recycle, or save the planet/ the whatevers. Now, they attend whopper conferences, such as Power, in DC and en masse, claim to go before elected reps telling adults to change laws to save the planet. All the while, I'm sure, convinced they are leading the charge.
I'm ALL FOR a culture shift that values environmental integrity, conservation, good use of resources, etc. And I believe in the collective, can-do of the Millennial Might to align behind a few select (albeit, not deep) issues and shift culture. Yeah.
But this is what I tweeted from the VirginFest this weekend, literally: "I don't ever want to hear a single millennial- gen y talk about green/Eco/environmental issues if they can't first pickup their gdam trash."
You want green/eco/whatever, Millennials. Go for it! Really. Just make sure your own actions align with your big goals. Otherwise, well ... look to the history books for your own future ...

I'm multi-tasking and working on some low-admin work while participating in (by being more informed) in hyper-local issues. I'm connected. I see people I know (Hi Sang! You've got a great smile!)
And best of all, I can fast forward when I find someone boring!

I just blogged about openness and campaigning here. http://tinyurl.com/5q972f Bill, in my eyes: you _do_ walk your talk. I believe you're the finest candidate to come to the WLVB in a long time. Were I a Wilde Lake resident, I'd vote for you in a heartbeat.
