Should Conservatists listen to youth and millennials about their fears of global warming being triggered by Progressive politicians?
The Chicago Tribune article titled, 22M pounds of plastics go into the Great Lakes each year, reports:
“Plastics pollution in global waters has become one of the most complex issues of the century.”
I also read two blog posts and comments that relate to visions in the sky. There are also other types of visions of fears in the minds of fears of the millennial’s generation and previous generations about both political and environmental issues.
The Purpose of This Post
Is to warn conservative politicians to listen to the concerns of youth and millennials to prevent them from voting based on political claims that may repeat the same follies of previous generations.
King Solomon
let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance— (Proverb 1:5)
“he shall possess the helm” (l); sit as a pilot there, as the word may signify, and steer the ship aright in which he is; whether it be his family, or the church of God, or a city or corporation, or a kingdom: this book, rightly understood by him, will furnish him with rules to do all things well and wisely.” (Excerpt Gils)
Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds; (Proverb 27:23)
“and look well to thy herds; or, “put thy heart” (s) to them: show a cordial regard for them, (youth and millennials) and take a hearty care of them, that they have everything needful for them; and which is for the owner’s good as well as theirs.” (Excerpt Gils)
What’s My Point?
Politicians are targeting or triggering youth and millennials with rhetoric of fear of global warming in the 2020 election. Whether claims about global warming are valid truths or not, if Conservatist do not listen to youth and millennial’s concerns, the result could be the deciding factor of winning or losing the 2020 election.
For example, in the nineteen sixties, youth protested against 50,000 Americans dying in Vietnam. When you reflect on what took place in history after that time, did the world advance or retreat result in preventing 911 and the USA sending 100,000 plus troops to Afghanistan and Iran.
Did the USA repeat the same folly of trying to police the world after Vietnam?
Did youth protests about Vietnam change the next election result?
My point is voters will choose who will represent them based on promises or claims that may not be wise or truthful. However, if political candidates do not listen and address their concerns and/or fears of global warming and environment before they vote, the future path of the USA on other issues will be affected.
In my opinion, there are some immediate simple solutions to address environmental concerns. Of youth and millennials.
For Example
Plastics
What should be done about plastic pollution is simple, provide incentives to make use of reusable containers. For example, millions of people line up every day on their way to work to buy a cup of coffee served to them in a plastic container to drink as they drive to work. If they would instead hand a standard size reusable cup, they cleaned to the coffee businesses, millions of pounds of plastic would not be required.
The same with reusable washable bags for groceries and other methods of packaging,
Fast food return to dishwashers instead of plastic.
Same for milk or water containers.
Carbon Dioxide
Plant trees program.
Amortize all forms of energy costs instead of price competition.

Your Decide
Will the color in the sky for conservatives appear blue or violet for the future of the USA if the truth turns out to be that the reason they lost is because that they did not listen and act on the environmental concerns of youth and millennials?
If the Progressives win the 2020 election, will the truth also be that they will gain power to repeat past failures of socialism or unfair globalism trade agreements that led past “herds” of people to what is or was not good as evidenced in recent history?
Are present environmental issues really that complex, or will some simple truthful measures suggested in the above For Examples help reduce pollution in Lake Michigan and/or the planet?

The problem with the solutions that average citizens come up with (people like you and me) is that we don’t know what we are talking about.
We need to consider what we can understand, the big picture. The real issue is economic. The person receiving the benefit should pay the cost, not someone who has nothing to do with whatever transaction results in pollution. So the question is how do we make the producers (and/or service providers) and their customers pay the cleanup bill? I think a pollution added tax would work. Government has expertise in taxation.
If implemented properly, such a pollution add tax would give the folks dumping plastics into landfills and the general environment an incentive to do reduce their waste and recycle.
One of the problems with recycling is that we don’t design things to be recycled. No economic incentive to return recyclable waste to the manufacturer. Instead, bunches of politicians and bureaucrats give orders (regulations), and their orders are so ignorant and stupid they don’t accomplish anything.

I agree there will be economic issues involved that the average citizen cannot comp rend or be privy to..
I also believe that incentives are needed.
For example, if the coffee vendor only dispenses in a reusable cup and charge extra for the cost of the cup of perhaps $3.00, it will be an incentive for users to wash their own cup and hand it to the coffee vendor.
Won’t work though unless there was a law to mandate all coffee or fast food suppliers do the same.
“Where there is a will there is a way” is an old idiom.
There are presently a lot of young college students being taught to work out various methods of public conservation in colleges. Perhaps they will someday be the influence to restore common sense in our nation and the world.

I wonder if the folks who regulate eating establishments want customers bringing their own cups. Whether those cups will be clean or not…… Good way to spread disease.

Tom,
Interesting comment you just made. It leads me to wonder or discern about our nanny government, and/or, our nanny religious morality.
For Example
Nanny Government
If a person can no longer be responsible to wash his or own cup anymore, should other taxpayer’s pay his or her medical costs,
Nanny Religion Morality
Donate to a charity to help their brother in need?
This same problem existed 3000 years ago. If you relate to the ancient Priests washing their hands during a religious ceremony.
In My Opinion
Sad when you relate that Wisdom is no longer taught to youth anymore in public schools and private religious schools put more emphasis on love than wisdom.
What the world needs now in addition to love is wisdom, We are the masters of our own disasters.
Nothing new under the Sun?
As for littering the earth, who should be responsible for picking up their own garbage, isn’t.
cleanliness is next to godliness. Being clean is a sign of spiritual purity or goodness, as in Don’t forget to wash your ears—cleanliness is next to godliness. This phrase was first recorded in a sermon by John Wesley in 1778, but the idea is ancient, found in Babylonian and Hebrew religious tracts.(google)

If our world can no longer exist without a nanny government, another option is for coffee vendors to use a “innovative” service I explained in previous post.
