I’m very confused 

So at Starbucks you get pressured to use inox straws with your plastic cups?

That’s how we’re saving turtles in 2019?

I hate that ya'll out here saying how we (25 - 35 year olds) don't give a fuck about climate change. We've been fighting this for a while. I've been working at this since I was a teen. (I missed my school ball because I was at an environmental event) there's this whole generation of much older "greenies" I've met who've been trying for over 50 years to get any action going.

We even in the early 2000's didn't have the resources social media has now to mobilise these huge strikes, but we've been pushing bit by bit to try and get any action going. We've had the bulk of the Murdoch media against us. We've been spat at in the street and nearby polling booths.

We're proud of the great work you've been able to do, but we're not gonna sit here and get told we don't care.

The anti-globalist attack on the greens is a wake-up call. It points to the fact that green ideas have too often become a virtue signal for the carbon-heavy bourgeoisie, drinking their Fairtrade organic coffee as they wait for their transatlantic flight. Green globalism has become part of the growth machine; a comfortable notion for those who don’t really want much to change.

What would happen if environmentalism remade itself – or was remade by the times? What might a benevolent green nationalism sound like? You want to protect and nurture your homeland – well, then, you’ll want to nurture its forests and its streams too. You want to protect its badgers and its mountain lions. What could be more patriotic? This is not the kind of nationalism of which Trump would approve, but that’s the point. Why should those who want to protect a besieged natural world allow billionaire property developers to represent them as the elitists? Why not fight back – on what they think is their territory?

Keep It In The Ground … By Blocking Pipelines

Keep It In The Ground … By Blocking Pipelines

By Paul Driessen ~

You can understand their frustration, as the steady stream of radical environmentalist successes during the Obama years has been replaced with endless setbacks. Oil, gas and coal leasing, permits and production have risen significantly. Big Green just lost its first Big Cities v. Big Oil climate change shakedown lawsuit. President Trump pulled the USA out of the…

A Little Slice Of Alaskan Tundra Is Finally Open For Drilling

Tax bill provision opens ANWR, to bring more oil online and keep Alaska pipeline operating By Paul Driessen ~ Way back in 1980, Congress passed the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, establishing the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and making numerous other land use decisions for our 49th state.
