Especially on the island here, going "green" seems to be more trendy than driving around in a nice car.

You might be surprised to hear that millennials are actually shockingly similar to boomers when boomers were that age in the 60s and into the 70s.
Anti-establishment, environmental, communal, spiritually, as opposed to monetarially driven. The similarities are astounding, now that I think about it more.
A lot of people thought society, as it was known, was coming to an end because kids (lazy hipsters) didn't seem interested in careers or other traditional things that drove society.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the commune... as we age, our priorities change.
