Greenpeace not started by Baby Boomers
I’m wondering about people born on the cusp of new generations, who take a lead in developing their younger siblings.
Bob Hunter, one of the original founders of Greenpeace, died a few days ago. He was born in Canada in 1941, which makes him a bit older than the oldest Baby Boomers. This backs up comments from people I know who were born around the time of the second world war. They remember very clearly spearheading the movements that are attributed to the Baby Boomers. It was this group who were sharing the ideals that inspired a generation.
Germaine Greer, feminist leader, was born in 1939. John Lennon was born in 1940, Bob Dylan in 1941, Paul McCartney in 1942, Janis Joplin and Mick Jagger in 1943. There will a few others that come to mind…
