A new Pew Research Center report shows that many young Americans are shying away from the environmental movement. According to the report, America’s Millennial generation - those born after 1980 - are the least likely to identify with environmentalism. On the other hand, previous surveys have found Millennials are in favor of stricter environment laws and policies like tax incentives for hybrid vehicles. J.C. Kibbey, a volunteer/organizer at the Sierra Club, explains what going green means to the Millennial generation. Photo: Flickr/Bunches and Bits {Karina}
