People Over 60: Key Allies in Climate Change
A crowd of about 100 people gathered in front of Los Angeles City Hall just days before Earth Day. They protested global warming and advocated for climate justice. Among them, 70-year-old Jeff Olmstead made a powerful statement by sitting in a rocking chair instead of marching. This act symbolizes the silent strength of older generations in environmental activism.
Why Older Activists Matter
Older individuals bring valuable life experiences to the climate movement:
- They often have a deeper understanding of the long-term impacts of climate change.
- They can influence younger generations through shared wisdom and guidance.
- Many have been witnesses to historic environmental shifts, enhancing their credibility.
