Pessimism only benefits the status quo. This is better than nothing and a good step in the right direction.

Good. Hopefully we'll get more youth activists like Greta.
My hay-fever and asthma has certainly gotten worse over the last few years, I know that much for damn sure.
I was hoping they'd retrospectively fix the issue with Cerys getting killed when defending the grove from the goblin attack, but looks like they only patched out the possibility of it happening. Looks like I'm still soft locked out of fully completing that particular mission.
There's growing evidence that the opposite may be true:

Plastic grass supports little in the way of biodiversity and will constantly shed microplastics. Actual grass also allows the absorption of rain water into the ground below, whereas fake grass does not. This can contribute to localised flooding, and causes problems for replenishment of aquifers. All in all its awful stuff and the sooner it's banned the better IMO.
Totally agree. Either change it to something like [email protected] or change the focus to world politics. There is so much more stuff going on around the globe politically, having everything 'default' to the US is such a myopic point of view.
Can't say I'm dreading a 'utopia', vegan or otherwise...
They're not saying people should stop eating meat entirely, they're saying people should eat less i.e. swapping a burger with a bean casarole once a week or something. This is not a binary all-or-nothing situation. Every little helps, as they say.
That defeatist attitude benefits no one except the status quo. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Any positive change is better than none.
I think that's a rather pessimistic view on things. Greta isn't alone, she's one of the more prominent figures in a global movement demanding change. A movement which is rapidly gaining momentum and effectiveness. She isn't a symbol of 'what might have been', she's a symbol of what's to come. I know that all that's happening around the world is frustrating and scary, but it's important to remain optimistic. Pessimism only benefits the status quo.
