Who Cares About the Environement?

[Leonardo17]

I've found people have trouble grasping abstract concepts. It's a lot easier to see that a gallon of milk costs $4 than that we're slowly killing ourselves and everything else on the planet. People, enough people that is, don't vote for the environment and never have. Apparently "wokeness" and transexuals are bigger problems than preserving our planet and democracy. We're in an age of rampant anti-intellectualism.

This is also true but mankind is evolving. In the 1980’s it was cool to smoke a cigarette. If you were a boy you were “tough”, if you were a girl you were “modern” and “grown up” for smoking. Today teenagers are reduced to smoking electro-cigarettes that are very bad for the environment but not so bad for the teenies that smoke them.
 
    And most of the Gen X people are currently reconsidering their alcohol consumption. It’s no longer “cool” for people of our generation to offer good quality Whisky to our guests. Most people will be more impressed if you offer them more healthy alternatives and you will also socialize better if you go to the gym and exercise more regularly in some way. We are nothing like the grownups in the series “Dallas” who smoke cigars all the time and compulsively act in a domineering fashion to the opposite sex.
 
   So that’s what has kept me separating my trash for some 20 years or so, even though I know that the local municipality does not really care about the issue.
 
Their time will come I guess
