The article, Sustainability and Intergenerational Solidarity, discusses why sustainability is a problem in the United States. Most elders believe that they are leaving behind a worse world than they lived in for their children and grandchildren, and most young Americans believe that life will not be as great for them as it was for their parents. America is burdened by the fiscal debt, global warming, economic and environmental dangers, and many more problems.
To change this, people need to begin to not live for themselves but for future generations. We need to reduce our carbon emissions, reduce national debt, and cultivate renewable resources. If we can change our ways, we can leave the world a better place for future generations.
