Yeah sorry, I agree with this tbh. Blaming older people is a cop out. Its not older people (speaking generally) buying all the plastic ****e. And most older people I know grow their own veg and stuff and are quite into recycling? Not sure where this version of older people you speak of comes from really, are most older people you know like that?! I find that..sad really. Speaking broadly, I have found older people care much more about global warming than younger ones. They consume less plastic tat crap, and seem to be more bothered about littering and recycling than most. I mean, these protesters have left behind hundreds of ****ing plastic bottles on the floor instead of cleaning uip after themselves, so clearly they DONT actually care about the environment? So why awre they protresting? Seems attention seeking to me to be quite honest, if they aren't actually bothered about global warming and that given they are contributing. The celeb woman who flew 6000 miles to join a protest about air travel and such, I find ****ing hilarious. And shes being hailed as a hero?! Hypocrites, the lot of them tbh. A few may be genuine, but it seems the majority are just there for something to do to get their faces in the news!
