Welcome to the inaugural founding of YUPPIES - the central gathering and organization place for Young Urban Pragmatic Professionals Interested in Environmental Sustainability! This group is for young professionals who are deeply concerned about the state of the environment and recognize the clear and present danger to our future prosperity and the stability of our civilization. We have watched the boomer generation recklessly control the levers of political and economic power, and have been powerless to stop the horrendous abuse and short-sightedness that has led us to our current predicament. Well, ENOUGH. Now it's our turn, and we're kicking the boomers out of the driver's seat and taking charge. We're hoping there's still time to change direction before we go over the cliff - and so we need to throw our collective weight behind the task.
YUPPIES is about bringing together the next power generation - leveraging our new political and economic clout, and organizing together to take over the positions of power and effect change. We will run for City Council - we will run for Parliament - we will take over the leadership of our multinational corporations, and bring environmental sustainability directly to the forefront in the operating agendas of these institutions. We will do so, and succeed - because in most cases - we are already there. YUPPIES members are urban planners, lawyers, doctors, professors, scientists - people with knowledge, information, and the clout to make things happen - and together, we will change the world.
