Not as horrible as driving a car each way to work, I'm sure. Being environmentally conscious Archived Message

Doesn't mean everything you do has to be 100% for the environment. If fast fashion ultimately means less waste, maybe it's a good thing (compared to a closet full of worn once clothes).  Previous Message especially when it comes to social issues like the environment. Look at their fashion choices, as an example. Fast fashion is absolutely horrible for the environment.  Previous Message "because you use Uber eats, you don't care about the environment" any more than it can be "you recycle all your plastic, so you obviously care about the environment." Millennials are more environmentally conscious that any generation before it.  Previous Message but do their actions and behaviors really demonstrate they they are in it to make a difference? You think Uber Eats is environmentally conscious?  Previous Message  Previous Message  Previous Message The self-driving car might allow smartphone-obsessed young people to travel from A to B without ever looking up. Right now, they'd rather not drive because they have to look at the road, and that's good for mass transit. This latest generation of 20-somethings eats every meal from single-user packaging that pretends to be green, but doesn't recycle a single gottdamn thing. I have no faith in them.
