You believe in achieving sustainable economic growth through market-based solutions that respect and protect the environment.
Eco-capitalism, also known as green capitalism, is a political ideology that combines elements of capitalism and environmentalism. It is based on the belief that market forces, if properly guided and regulated, can be used to combat environmental degradation and promote sustainable development. This ideology emerged in the late 20th century as a response to growing concerns about the environmental impact of economic activities.
The roots of eco-capitalism can be traced back to the 1960s and 1970s, when environmental issues began to gain prominence in public discourse. The publication…

If you could educate people about one environmental issue, which would it be and why?
@9JBNJX55mos5MO
How little humans are actually doing because compared to other things that happen in nature such as volcanos, humans don't actually do much other than deforestation
@9JD4D3B5mos5MO
Compared to natural events humans may have little impact on a case by case but humans have a greatly accelerated impact on the environment through deforestation being systemic rather than an individual system as well as deep sea trawling being organised efforts with little though of ecological consequence. Combine this with the growth of industry and unsafe disposal of waste and humans have an extremely large impact with industries such as agriculture and transportation.

Destroying habitats and ecosystems. We’ve done a lot of damage but let’s try to lessen it going forward.
@9JBNWRN5mos5MO
Plastic Pollution is one major environmental issue because the plastics chokes marine wildlife, damages soil and poisons groundwater, and can cause serious health impacts.
@9JBNGTQ5mos5MO
Teach people to stop littering because it’s awful for the Earth and it doesn’t even take that much effort. Just one person not littering can make a world of difference.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
What's a skill you think everyone should learn that could benefit the environment?
@9KSHXHQ3mos3MO
Everyone should learn how to take five-minute showers.
@9KSDQM43mos3MO
they should learn more of what their own people provide instead of helping the rest.

How does your vision of a perfect vacation change when considering its environmental footprint?
@9J7G3LC5mos5MO
My vacations should be environmentally friendly or at most most of it is.
@9J7FGGT5mos5MO
Let nature because how it is and try to decrease carbon for nature to get better
@9J7FDCB5mos5MO
Personally I don’t think it changes. A perfect vacation for me does not mean a lot of driving, and I think that the flight, or maybe 2 or 3 flights, have a minimal impact in the grand scheme.
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
Do you think companies that claim to be eco-friendly are genuine, or is it often just a marketing strategy?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
In your opinion, what's the most surprising way that climate change could affect our economy?
@9HHP9RX6mos6MO
it could kill a lot of things in the environment that we might not be able to get back
@9HHP3TB6mos6MO
With the current generations not being able to handle climate change in the future
@9HHP3B26mos6MO
The climate change alarmism gives idiots reason to dip into my wallet for unproven nonsense.
@9HHP3Q6Republican6mos6MO
Climate change is just a power grab by the government based on junk science
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Why do you think some people are hesitant to adopt eco-friendly habits, and how can they be gently encouraged to change?
@9HHPVCY6mos6MO
because theyre so used to it and may think disposable things are more convenient
@9HKBSP56mos6MO
I think government incentives would be good, but subsidizing a failing venture is not in the publics best interest.
@9HHPWMN6mos6MO
I think that some people don't think it will be as efficient but if we show them it can be efficient and eco-friendly then maybe it can change.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Do you think community gardens and urban farming could play a significant role in creating a sustainable future?
@9HVF2MP5mos5MO
Yes, and could also provide valuable nutrition to underprivileged citizens who live in food deserts or are unable to afford adequate food.
@9HVCK945mos5MO
i think it could play a big role however should be used as both a reinforcement for food security and prioritized into food scarce areas.
@9HVCG345mos5MO
Yes, I believe that integrating more farming and gardens in urban areas will increase both food and environmental stability in the future.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Can you remember a moment when you became aware of the environmental impact of your actions, and what change did it lead to?
@9HX28HN5mos5MO
I maintain my vehicle more closely and have chosen a more fuel efficient vehicle. I also recycle more waste and reuse more than I did previously. I also advocate for packaging that isn't just marketing waste and for containers that are easily reused, such as glass and recyclable metals.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How do you imagine the cities of the future balancing economic growth and environmental sustainability?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How does climate change awareness affect your opinions on travel and transportation options?
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
What do you think is the most significant barrier to integrating eco-friendly practices in our everyday lives?
@9HCTHXR6mos6MO
I think the biggest barrier is big oil/gas. If we were fully eco-friendly they would lose money so I think their influence is what is the biggest barrier is.
@9HCT4VK6mos6MO
The most significant barrier to integrating Eco-friendly practice in our everyday lives is probably having equality.
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
Could a shift towards green jobs help the economy and the planet simultaneously?
Yes. Fossil fuels only last so long. Once they're exhausted, people will be left jobless. All the more important, then, that jobs be future proof and sustainable too, with benefit to our planet and future generations.
@9H6M2PD7mos7MO
Yes. Fossil fuels only last so long. Once they're exhausted, people will be left jobless. All the more important, then, that jobs be future proof and sustainable too, with benefit to our planet and future generations.
