Re: The Wasteful Generation.

They sure recycle the hell out of the "Classic Rock" from the sixties and seventies. Many of my contemporaries don't know anything recorded after 1978, yet still insist that their 40 year old playlist is superior.

On a more serious note: like it or not, the "green" thing was absolutely a Boomer invention. Environmentalism was hatched in the latter part of the sixties, by many of the same folks that protested the Vietnam war. The first Earth Day was in 1970. Things like the EPA (1970) Clean Air act (1963, 1970), Clean Water Act (1977), South Coast Air Quality District (1976), etc - all Boomer driven.

I live in Southern California and I can personally attest that both the water and the air are less polluted now than they were in the seventies. And we have a hell of a lot more cars now than we did then.
