Bold idea but what if we told companies that use these methods of production to seize over their assets and fuck off, so we can do it in a healthy way? Nah, must be the Gen Z who are at fault.
GenZ are not the ones who started climate change.
Yes, but what a strange headline. Many people in general don’t know what it is, or what the impact is. And obviously education about environmental damage can slightly impact purchasing habits.
So … What did we learn from this article? I have no idea.
That focusing on fringe topics that don’t fix the issue at hand let alone the root, and scapegoating minorities and creating artificial identities to square off against each other are great ways to keep the population both divided and mentally occupied enough that they won’t develop political consciousness and progress beyond infighting?
“Millenials, Gen Z unaware of price paid for cheap ‘green revolution crops’. They should stop eating to prevent ocean dead zones”
When the entire supply chain of a critical commodity has serious issues, you can’t fix it on the demand side.
But, listen, what if we took demand and turned it into some sort of golden idol that we worship through charts and financial divination?
I think that’s a really great idea.
Fucking brats. Look what gen z and the millennials are doing to our environment!
Depends on what you consider Gen Z or not. I’m prob the cut-off or oldest GenZ; in my personal experience in schools, local area, etc if you’re not rich you’re probably using food-banks and clothing donations. It’s not uncommon for Americans leveraged to the god damn ears to use those services. It’s why you see nice cars roll up to them and apparently well-to-do Americans taking things. Because it’s all presentation and they have more debt than actual wealth.
If you’re a little better off, you get some nice clothes from family. It’s not the 90s where you can just go into a thrift store and walk out with 5 cum-stained pants for 10 bucks. Thrift stores where I live are starting to raise prices. One pair of thrifted cum-stained pants is 20 now.
I’ve been wearing the same wardrobe for years now. The idea to me of throwing down 20 bucks for six pairs of socks is ridiculous when I KNOW they were made for 2 cents with exploited labor. Combine that with the fact that GenZ has record levels of unemployment/mental illness. Of course they prefer “cheap fast” ANYTHING.
If you can learn how to sew you also realize both how cheap the shit you’re wearing is AND how long clothes can actually last.
Gen Z is anyone born 2001 onwards. I am born on 2006.
