Theoretically, the survival of the planet is possibly at stake.
Yet try talking to someone about environmentalism, green energy, sustainability and so forth and there’s a good chance you’ll be considered a bit of a bore. For whatever reason, the topic is considered to be “boring” by lots of people... even though it will determine the future. It’s strange and paradoxical. This reminds me of several college classes where the professors liked to bring up environmental issues. In every one of these instances, aside from a few classmates who were really into it, a lot of people appeared bored. When pressed they said: “Well... the prof is probably right. The planet is in trouble and we may need to do something. But I don’t want to hear about it.“
So what do you think?
Has environmentalism and environmental issues (including recycling and green energy) been unfairly branded as “boring”? Is it a bore to you personally? If you’re at a party or on a date and someone decides to start an environmental discussion, would you view this as boring? Why or why not?
