Yes, we need a Green New Deal, or call it a Great Changes Environmentalism — but regardless, we definitely don’t have time for all this “what can I do?,” “buy something!,” carbon speculating, green growth, greenwashing, just do something, A for effort!, self-deluding, trickle-down “save the planet!” utter ridiculous bullshit.

Yes, we need a Green New Deal, or call it a Great Changes Environmentalism — but regardless, we definitely don’t have time for all this “what can I do?,” “buy something!,” carbon speculating, green growth, greenwashing, just do something, A for effort!, self-deluding, trickle-down “save the planet!” utter ridiculous bullshit.
We’ve been “saving the planet” for decades…& environmental crises just get worse. All this Tesla driving & LEED building & carbon trading seems to accomplish little to nothing — all while low-income communities continue to suffer the worst consequences.
Why aren’t we cleaning up the toxic messes & rolling back climate change? And why do so many Americans hate environmentalists?
Jenny Price says, enough already! — with this short, fun, fierce manifesto for an environmentalism that is hugely more effective, a whole lot fairer, & infinitely less righteous. She challenges you, Exxon, & the EPA alike to think and act completely anew — & to start right now — to ensure a truly habitable future.
