[What's the most important issue to you this election season?]
Well, for me it is that our economy has created a system of over-consumption,
and based upon that over-consumption we are hurting our environment,
and our distribution of wealth.
[Are you hopeful about the future?]
Well I'm hopeful about the future because there are many of us
who are trying to change the political system.
We feel that there needs to be more voices represented in government.
Every vote doesn't count currently in our political system, it's antiquated.
But I'm a member of the Green party, and there are many other parties forming
across the United States to open up the political system.
We're in deadlock now, we have this dichotomy that has sort of
created this stalemate where we're not progressing in society like we could.
So there is a hopeful vision, the Green party is a part of that vision,
to be more inclusive in our political system, to make every vote count,
to open up a proportional representative system,
so that more voices and ideas can actually be implemented.
