I don’t think Gen Z cares about this. They want Bugatti’s and private jets.

Why can't we have both?
Agree. Everyone should have a zero emission Buggati and private jet if they want, that is the future we should be shooting for.

However, what I mean is degrowth, Greta type gen z people seem to be somewhat rare.

I feel like this must surely be an observation made from a skewed sample or from within some sort of bubble?

Tbh I don't have any research or polling data on hand, but I seem to remember gen Z being FAR more conscious of the environment (climate change and plastics pollution), their own health (drinking/smoking) and global social issues.

I’m basing this on popularity of various YouTube personalities. They are largely very kind and very rich.
