You believe in a society that prioritizes environmental sustainability and social justice through collective ownership and democratic control of resources and production.
Eco-socialism, also known as ecological socialism or green socialism, is a political ideology that merges aspects of socialism with that of green politics, ecology, and alter-globalization. It advocates for the harmonious coexistence of human societies with the natural world, which eco-socialists argue is not possible under the current global capitalist system. Eco-socialism is an ideology that seeks to eliminate the excessive consumption and economic inequality driven by capitalism, which it views as destructive to the environment and the cause of social inequality.

How do you think future jobs will be affected by a shift towards more sustainable practices?
@9J5BJ761yr1Y
we should uphold the health of our earth as best as we can by making eco-friendly laws and regulations
@9J5BDJL1yr1Y
I think jobs would be affected, but I think it's needed considering how bad our morality is as a nation
@9J5B7J81yr1Y
I think people might lose their jobs if they are not benefiting our ecosystem.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What would your ideal sustainable city or community look like?
@9HZFNXZ2yrs2Y
I am a big believer in sustainability in communities and cities. Different energy producers in the area, designated garbage cans, compost bins, and etc. I believe helping our Earth in all these different ways can give us as humans a more sustainable life for our planets future.
@9HZLR5L2yrs2Y
If we don't use so much gas, it could be bad for the environment.
@9HZTFB22yrs2Y
one where there no clash against each other no crazy crime and or bad leadership. a place where everyone is just good to one another
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you could redesign the education system, how would you incorporate lessons on sustainability and social justice?
@9HLRN962yrs2Y
I would incorporate more lesssons on whats currently going on in the world.
@9HLRNBX2yrs2Y
I would increase the incorporate lessons on sustainability and social justice by putting those lessons into classes that the students take and the lessons would be introduced when the teachers are teaching a lesson that is in relevence to the lesson of Eco-Socialism.
A mandatory but half year class in middle school and high school
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you could volunteer for an eco-friendly cause, what would it be and why?
@9HZFDZS2yrs2Y
I'll be happy to help you find an eco-friendly cause to volunteer for! There are many options to choose from, such as participating in beach cleanups to protect marine ecosystems, joining reforestation projects to restore forest habitats, or getting involved in community gardening initiatives to promote sustainable food production. It really depends on what aspect of the environment we are most passionate about.
@9HZF946 2yrs2Y
I would volunteer to educate individuals about the benefit and importance of Nuclear Energy as a renewable energy source. Many people are taught false information and they take it face on. Generations of people are living blind to the benefits of this green energy source that is highly renewable, heavily researched, and increasingly reliable.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can you imagine a world where profit doesn't drive business decisions, but instead, environmental and social well-being do?
@9HF83D32yrs2Y
I could not imagine a world that is driven by well being under capitalism because of the pursuit to profit and power. While I would like to believe that under socialism this would be a possibility, no system in history has proven to be perfect and I believe it will be that way for the rest of humanity.
@9HF8CR22yrs2Y
I’m OK with profits driving business decisions to a certain extent but when it is harming the public or our environment, then rules, regulations, requirements, standard and such need to be put in place. It’s kind of like we all have rights but Your rights end where my rights begin. You can make money but you can’t harm us/our environment. Wealthy incorporations have already bent and twisted the rules of capitalism to favor, and Benefits them. They break the system and they’re cheating in a way they shouldn’t be allowed to.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you approach conversations with others who might not share your environmental concerns?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can a society thrive without competition, or is competition necessary for innovation and progress?
@9HLQDHQ2yrs2Y
A good example would be war 1 war 2 and the space race all brought about great technology advancements which wouldn't have been made without that competition so yes I think it's necessary for innovation but I think society will thrive just fine without competition
@9HLQ7QD2yrs2Y
Competition is never necessary for progress. Such thinking is a fallacy, and there is innumerable evidence that disproves it.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How can art and culture influence the way we think about and act towards the environment?
@9HLRSPD2yrs2Y
If everybody poured their feelings into art maybe we'd all come to an understanding.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How does the idea of reducing, reusing, and recycling play out in your day-to-day life?
@9J5F9MG1yr1Y
Since I recycle my Bottles, Plastics, and Cans, I frequently recycle my non-waste items when I'm at home, other than that, trash is trash to me.
@9J5CQWFIndependent1yr1Y
I try to recycle as much as possible and whenever I can.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In what ways do you think your lifestyle would be affected if public transport was free for everyone?
@9KSP2TC1yr1Y
Everything would be crowded and the income for cars and vehicles would go down because do one would buy them based off the free transport.
If it was free I feel like it can really help people out and make life easier.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can you think of a local environmental issue that you believe deserves more attention?

@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you had the power to change one consumer habit in your community for ecological reasons, what would it be?
@9JKYQCB1yr1Y
That people always have to have an opinion, if you don't agree with someone, don't take time out of your day to criticize them and tell them why they are wrong, just move on. It shouldn't affect you so don't make a big deal about it.
@9JKXXCTIndependent1yr1Y
I would like to draw our society from consumerism and collectively invest in houses, clothes, and any other products that are durable and last for many years instead of short periods of time.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In what ways can modern technology contribute to sustainability rather than exacerbate ecological problems?
@9HM8PZF2yrs2Y
Instead of cutting down energy consumption to support a transition to the creation of things like windmills, which, by the way, are also made of polyester, an oil-derived plastic, which gets thrown out and burned when the windmill eventually breaks, therefore burning more carbon and putting more co2 in the atmosphere, use something like nuclear power, and use a chemical process to physically draw co2 out of the atmosphere nd convert it into o2, basically artificial photosynthesis.

@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would transition to collective ownership affect innovation and individual creativity?
It would be fine. The innovation and creativity would spawn a new era of creativity.
@9HRVF6Y 2yrs2Y
Collective ownership would cause less innovation and creativity because people would rely on others to get things done.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What could encourage communities to grow their own food locally rather than relying on imported goods?
@9HLQTGY2yrs2Y
Better infrastructure funding or possible trade cuts may cause local communities to grow their food more.

If there was one law you could enact to protect the environment, what would it be?
@9HX53MY2yrs2Y
Honestly I don’t know many, but maybe making our water for fish and aquatic plants more clean.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If money wasn't an issue, what change would you make in your community to better the environment?
@9HZGQYG2yrs2Y
i would make homeless shelters to keep them off the streets and have some named business in the community
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What is one thing you would willingly give up to ensure a more sustainable future for the planet?
@9HMYSS32yrs2Y
Rich corporations and billionaires should be the first to "give up" their excesses that overwhelmingly are responsible for ecological harm and global inequality.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What's something you wish more people knew about the impact of climate change on our lives?
@9HZDX3W2yrs2Y

I am motivated to work for the betterment of my locale
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would public transport need to change to become the preferred choice over personal vehicles?

@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
