In environmental matters, future generations do not have a vote.


"The irony of the matter [regarding the environment] is that the future generations do not have a vote. In effect, we hold their proxy * ."

Charles J. Hitch,
past president, University of California


* "Proxy" means "the authority to represent someone else, especially in voting."
