    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.

        No one said it was for fun, nor always by choice.

        And for thrifting I have heard a lot thrift stores are now filled with shien crap.
