Hi, George -

Enjoyed your photos and Alex Davis's story about Buy Nothing Day.

It's refreshing and a relief to know that the next generation is overflowing with so many passionate, smart and articulate young people. I also recognize that many of these socially and politically conscious kids have benefited from their performing arts backgrounds. More power to them. The future is in good hands.

Thanks for helping document their efforts.
