If children stops asking for cell phones from when they turn 5 years old and youngsters stop shopping "hauls" from Chinese places like Shein then maybe they could make an impact.
Yes, that seems to be the real problem. Definitely hit the nail on the head there bud.
I don't get this sarcasm, been on Reddit for too long?
Not buying smartphones for kids and not buying tons of cheap clothes from China will make an impact, this is something kids can do to help save us from climate change. Am I wrong?
it’s not the children’s fault when it’s the adults indoctrinating them into this consumerist mentality – the “asking for cell phones” is a learned behavior, not something they were born with …
No one has said it's the kids fault, this interpretation is just unnecessary and hostile.
I commented that if we stop giving kids new smartphones every year and if teens stop buying tons of child slavery clothes from China they can help us to combat climate change.
