Gen Z and Millennials Want Eco-Friendly Jobs; But Will They Starve? By James Reed

       The elites have certainly done a job in brainwashing GenZ and millennials, who seem to suffer from climate change anxiety and other media creations from the privacy of their social media saturated homes. Now it has been reported that these young folk, or at least 45 percent of them, will not be working in jobs that are not eco-friendly. But what jobs are eco-friendly when you look at it from the perspective of radical environmentalism? I cannot think of any, as everything, even rubbing two sticks together, increases entropy. Here is a technical book showing this, that every environmentalist should read but no-one does: The Entropy Law and the Economic Process (1999), by Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen. So, by their logic, do nothing, only doing "nothing" will still create pollution. Then why bother with environmentalism?

In any case the movement of the woke young out of these jobs will just be an excuse for the elites to replace them by migrants, only too happy to do the non-woke jobs for a feed. They will replace you!

"The era of "global boiling" is here, sending shivers down young worker's spines. But instead of sitting with their anxiety, Gen Z and millennials are trying to save the planet by quitting jobs that aren't eco-friendly.

In fact, new research from Deloitte shows that around 45% of the two youngest generations of workers have already left a job, or plan to, over climate concerns.

The consultancy giant surveyed more than 22,800 Gen Z and millennials in 44 countries across most continents and found that climate change is anxiety-inducing for the majority of respondents: 62% of Gen Zs and 59% of millennials reported feeling anxious about the state of the planet in the past month alone.

However, instead of waiting for government leaders to step in and act, they are taking matters into their own hands by refusing to work for employers who don't prioritize the planet's health.

More than 70% of those surveyed said that they consider prospective employers' environmental policies when job hunting—and for a quarter of Gen Z and millennials this has impacted whether or not they accept the job.

Meanwhile, a third of respondents said they'd investigate an organization's sustainability measures thoroughly before accepting future jobs.

What eco-conscious employees want to see from businesses

Some of the environment initiatives that respondents said they'd like to see more of from employers include offering more sustainable products or services to customers and committing to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions within the next decade, in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Gen Z and millennial workers also said that a subsidy in exchange for making sustainable choices (for example, cycle-to-work schemes) wouldn't go amiss and that they seek out green office locations.

Perhaps surprisingly, the most popular thing an employer can do to attract environmentally conscious young employees is teach them how to be even better stewards of the earth: Nearly a third of respondents said they want sustainability training.

"Protecting the environment is the societal challenge where respondents feel businesses have the greatest opportunity and necessary influence to drive change," the report notes. "Gen Z and millennials are pushing businesses to do so through their career decisions and their consumer behavior."

Of course, not everyone is willing to quit environmentally unfriendly jobs, but even those who aren't eyeing up the exit are embracing their inner Greta Thunberg and demanding their current employer changes for the better.
