In May 2011, a hatch of unprecedented legal actions took place across the United States - youth from around the country were taking their governments to court for failure to protect their atmosphere f. . . for future generations. The basis of their legal actions was the Public Trust Doctrine.

I don't have a cell phone. I don't want a cell phone. I find it discriminatory to not allow people to vote based on their lack of a cell phone. I would like to vote for A Climate of Trust, but I see that according to your rules, I can't. So maybe you can find some other way to enter my vote fairly. Elise Houghton
