Studies at the\u00a0global<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0national<\/a>\u00a0levels show that many young people from Generation Z (Gen Z) and Millennials are very concerned about environmental issues and climate change. Gen Z is a global population group born between 1998-2012, while Millennials were born between 1981-1995.<\/p>\n Their level of concern about the current state of the earth is higher than that of\u00a0previous generations<\/a>\u00a0, such as Generation X (1965-1989) and Baby Boomers (1946-1964).<\/p>\n This condition gave birth to a very strong climate action from young people\u00a0Gen Z and Millennials<\/a>\u00a0compared to\u00a0older people<\/a>\u00a0. In fact, this action also triggered the birth of the meme\u00a0“Ok Boomer”<\/a>\u00a0, as a satire by a number of young people against the older generation who are considered\u00a0old-fashioned<\/a>\u00a0towards progressive steps, including climate action.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, this satire actually creates\u00a0intergenerational sentiment<\/a>\u00a0and blame. The younger generation considers the older generation to have damaged the environment and exacerbated\u00a0climate change<\/a>\u00a0. The older generation is also labeled as\u00a0slow<\/a>\u00a0to address it.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the older generation complains about young people who they consider to be\u00a0\u201cmentally soft\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and only like to play with\u00a0gadgets<\/em>\u00a0. They also often \u201corder\u201d the young to take action to take care\u00a0of environmental issues<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n\n
