This article only puts into words what I've thought since the green movement started. Social media has been a big help to climate change in the sense that it creates a social pressure on others to purchase "green" products. This pressure is particularly strong in the 18-24 year old demographic, since these are the people who consume social media the most, on several platforms. It is now trendy to buy recycled goods, and ride your bike.
However, parts of the green product movement are extremely ironic to me. For example, right when it was getting very popular, I was in Jr. High. My mom bought me a necklace that said "Go Green". Now I think about all the resources and fuel that were spend to create that necklace and thousands of others just like it.
