I'm one of the oldest millennials and my parents won't be dying for another 20-30 years unless shit happens, so you may be apologetic to the wrong generation.

I'm one of the oldest millennials and my parents won't be dying for another 20-30 years unless shit happens, so you may be apologetic to the wrong generation. I think this trend will actually change with us, my parents have loads of stuff that I'd like, and I've build half my furniture myself, and regularly fix things rather than buy new ones, despite not being handy at all, with YouTube teaching me how. The other half is things I've inherited from my grand parents. Not because I liked it, at first anyway, but because I don't really want to own something with a CO2 footprint leading all over the world or things were build by slave labour. Besides, the quality and detail in old hand made stuff is so much better than the shitty gluewood you buy in ikea. Of course that's just my view on things based on myself and my circle of friends, who are strikingly similar to me when I think about it, and we could simply be odd millennials.

Pretty understandable to throw away the past and make it anew. Unfortunately unless you understand that the exercise is just that: exercise, and that there is nothing truly new under the sun you misplace your importance and priorities. Learn from other peoples mistakes and don't fix what isn't broken. If these two precepts were persistent there would be constant advancement. As far as your concepts go on C02 and inherited guilt..grow up.

  > As far as your concepts go on C02 and inherited guilt..grow up. Are you suggesting only children and youth care about the environment? If true, that's terrible! (Edit: A downvote doesn't explain what I've misunderstood.)

    'If true that's terrible!' Why don't you research what you believe and get to the bottom of the issue(s)? Why don't you at least look at what the economic factors involved imply contra the 'objective' science and take a look at how the pendulum swings. Yes, there is climate change, yes we are involved. But this type of emotional outcry based on taught thought is stupid.
