And I have to tell you that part of why I get excited when I see some of the work that you’re doing is because our next generation is so much more attuned to these issues than I was when I was growing up. I can tell you when I sit down and I talk to my kids, probably the area where they have the most sophisticated understanding of policy is when it comes to the environment. They understand that the decisions we make now are going to have an impact on their lives for many years to come. And their instincts are right. So your mission is vital.

President Barack Obama with a shout-out to the youth, and their spot-on instincts about environmental policy, during a thank-you visit to the EPA.

Watch the video and read more from our friends at the Energy Action Coalition.
