Organizations and public social groups.

There are thousands of groups, organizations, fundraisers, that today's younger generation has helped put together in order to help fix the damage that global warming has already caused, or to help prevent futher damages from happening. It is a prooven fact that in today's society the younger generation take's global warming more seriously than any other generation before it's time. We are the generation that has watched it happen, during our younger age and now that we're at the ages of 16-25 we think that it's time to do something about it.
During my research over the internet in quest of trying to find out exactly what the younger generation is trying to do, I came across a website that had an article about two young me greatly. According to www.pbs.org Two young men by the names of Adam and John, both 24 of Middlebury College, in Vermont, have founded a company called Brighter Planet. What this company does is creat products that can have a profit that will raise funds to help with research of global warming. This company created many different products but it's first and most successful was the "green" credit card. What this card does is, every time a purchase is made on the credit card, a small precentage goes towards helping fund renewable energy.
It might not mean alot to other people but this company is amazing. In my opinion I find it incredible that two young men, so close to my age could of actually started this company alone. Single handedly without help or advice. It's so cool, and prooves that the younger generation is making a large impact on global warming. We as a whole are not given enough credit for what we're doing. This is a big thing what Adam and John we're doing, and if that's just one example of what we're doing to help fight global warming, you can only imagine all the other things that might be going on at this time, that you haven't taken the opportunity to find out about.
