I don't know how to articulate to my friends why I hate whole economy of environmentally conscious products. Obviously it's good to be do as much as we can, but I have a knee-jerk reaction to anything that puts aside mass organizing in favor of a different palette of consumption. I don't know how to talk about this without sounding like an annoying contrarian. Also the minimalist marketing sucks so hard. Maybe I'm the asshole.

          Some of this is true, but to be realistic nobody is getting rid of computers , the internet or space travel. We need to get rid of production of useless shit, but running heaters, lighting, computers, and manufacturing of what we need is necessary.

          If we can transition to renewables it's good.

          As far as I know, nobody is cutting down forests to put up solar farms.
