Jamieson Sees Today's Environmental Activism as Urgent as Civil Rights Movement for Earlier Generation

Dale Jamieson, director of environmental studies at NYU, recently told the New York Times, in an article on green initiatives in schools, that environmental activism has captured the attention of young people in the same way the civil rights movement did a generation earlier.

"It's a place where morality and personal life and behavior and social change all come together," he told the Times. "There's this feeling it's an important issue in everyday life."
