Today is your day Boomer! What are you doing with your time Boomers? Recreating, working, volunteering, babysitting grandchildren: all great ideas and perfect for people in their aging years! But there is a new "senior" movement out there....a move toward political pressure and civic activism. More and more Boomers, like us, are stepping up for positive climate action change and that means pressuring industry, banks, and government. One group is called Seniors For Climate Action Now, or SCAN, which recently held a Toronto protest against RBC....a big bank which invests heavily in fossil fuels. There, they hoisted placards, chanted anti-capitalist slogans and listened to a variety of speakers criticize RBC's investment practices. At one point, a number of SCAN members even donned masks for a bit of street theatre, in which they spoofed a climate debate with bankers. SCAN spokesperson Peggy Lathwell says, "I'm terrified of what we're doing to the environment, to the Earth; I just see us heading like lemmings over the cliff." Boomers, we represent about 20% of the population in Canada and the USA, and that number is rising. Our generation has influence, money, and we vote in the highest numbers. Therefore, we have clout! Many of us also have grandkids and we want a bright future for them. Something to consider for you? Cheers!
