It easy always blaming the baby boomers and Gen X. But the millenials and Gen Z are nearly just as cupable of global warming.

The amount of time we spend on the internet and the wastefull use of products contribute a lot to global warming.

    Stupid blaming the individual instead of holding the corporations accountable.

    Basically my point, we are also to blame. Most of us could so a whole lot more for the environment. The acceleration of global warming (digital made a terrible situation exponationaly bad) started in the digital era and millenials/gen z are by far the biggest consumers of digital products.

    We are also the biggest consumers of fast fashion although a certain subset of gen z started thrifting which is a really good development.

    I may be just among the poors but I don’t know a single millennial who can afford fair-trade, cruelty free, etc. clothing. Or really anything.

    Thrifting enshittified a decade ago. Walmart has more affordable clothing than any thrift shop in my area 🤷‍♀️

    We poors are certainly killing the planet - for fun.

    Buddy, global warming was locked in before gen Z could vote. This is a bonkers take

    Sure but that does not stop them from consuming fast fashion, digital products, eating a lot of meat, etc...

    My point was that all I ever see about global warming is blaming the older generation while we are also to blame as generations we all had the chance to make different choices and we didn't.

    That does not mean that the largest producers of greenhouse gazes are large industries, heating and farms. And certain individuals have an extreme impact compared to the average (think private jet, yacht, spaceflight).
