200 years from now these young people will be seen as heroes. They’re doing a whole lot more to actually resist Big Oil tyranny than are a bunch of environmental organizations endorsing Biden in hopes that maybe just maybe they’ll get invited to a WH conference.

This is huge. This is absolutely monumental. We just shut down an event honoring Exxon CEO Darren Woods. The whole room fled. We showed up & prevented this monster from uttering a word. We will resist him with all we've got. There is no choice.

I’d be much more impressed if they boycotted the click bait of fast fashion. There are viable alternatives and would truly be putting their money where their mouth is.

If that is the case, then why is only one concern "Big Oil" and making the news? Why are influencers, celebrities and musicians and others continuing to promote, invest in and making billions from Fast Fashion - with no protests, no massive call out, no massive funding for this social media message, no stopping of buying of fast fashion? DO THESE STATS LIE? >> "About 54% of Gen Z (ages 18-24) and 57% of millennials (ages 25-39) said sustainability is important to them. Yet, those generations are the leading consumers of fast fashion. In ThredUp's 2022 Gen Z Fast Fashion Report, 72% of college students reported having shopped fast fashion in the past year."
