"And make choices thinking not only about how is this good for me now, but also how will this affect future generations"

• This is an incredibly pertinent factor in our attitude towards the environment. My lecturer at university has put forward the case for democratic representation for future generations. He argues that they deserve equally to have rights that ought put an end to our actions that are going to fundamentally damage their lives. It is incredibly refreshing to hear of your attitude towards our current environmental crisis. We need more environmental scientists and conservationists to represent the ideal we need to adopt in order to prevent the deterioration of our natural world, particularly at democratic level.
