After a community bike ride from downtown Boulder,
folks of all ages planted sunflowers — known for their use in natural soil remediation projects — on a vacant lot at the gates of the Valmont Coal Plant.
Clearly, students at Ruthlawn Elementary School in South Charleston, W. Va., (near one
of the first American experiments aimed at pumping carbon dioxide from a power
plant into the ground) are part
of Generation E, as I've taken to calling
folks of all
ages who are pursuing ways to smooth the path toward a stable prospering human population on a bountiful planet.
