    4% of millennials are vegan. 77% of millennials drive a car regularly (64% own them, an additional 13% drive a car owned by someone in their family).

    Sure, but that’s still far, far, far, far, far from enough to offset climate change and the issues Gen Z will be facing because of it. Not to be too much of a Doomer, but when you’re facing the very real possibility of modern society collapsing under the weight of out-of-control climate change by 2050, all the patting yourself on the back for doing more than others feels… superfluous.

    I’m literally a millennial, and have seen that the vast majority of us don’t give a flying fuck (that’s why only 4% of us are vegan), just like previous generations. I’m not trying to be a dick to millennials, I’m trying to be honest with myself about my peers and my own generations failure to the future.

    Sure we did some, but if society still collapses, who will fucking give a shit?

      Yeah… Fuck us for driving to a job no public transport can get us to right?

      If you wanna admit you suck go right ahead, but with the means I have at hand in making a solid effort.

      Sounds like your not.

      Consumerism and capitalism is the real issue. Must have the latest iPhone, the company must grow. Limitless growth must happen in a system with limited resources.

      Typed from my 5 year old phone I don’t want to replace but Samsung agree pulling security updates so I’ll have to.
