I have no patience for pseudo-environmentalism that ignores the cause for political expediency.

I'm less concerned by some eye rolling "no breeding" pledge and more annoyed that she isn't using her massive platform (and media exposure) to get funding and attention to people who are actually creating solutions to our environmental problems. I've watched her speak and she doesn't say anything remotely compelling that some other 16 year old isn't already saying somewhere out there on the Internet.

We'd already have cost effective bacteria spreads that could eat up all the plastic in our oceans and landfills and baddass space mirrors if she (along with AOC and the other social media LibStars) actually highlighted those organizations and get some eyeballs on them.

She's fucking 16 and has aspergers, you twit.. It's doubtful she's even been introduced to that discussion, and quite frankly your views on the matter are pretty stupid.

Is she to be taken seriously or to be given a participation trophy?

She's to be taken seriously. Overpopulation is clearly an integral component of climate change but the move towards minimizing our destructive habits is a valuable one. Something is better than nothing.

Reasonable. I’d be more happy to chill with this perspective if overpopulation wasn’t treated like a taboo.
