Environmentalism without class struggle is just gardening (Chico Mendes)

I disagree that it is “just gardening”, it can absolutely have a huge impact.

However I do realize that the upper classes also pollute far, far more than the lower classes.

My point is that if there is a point where there is a big project that would benefit the environment, and only affect the people a small ammount while loosing a lot of potential if it was built somewhere else, then the people living in the area should not get to stop the project. Climate change will cause far, far, far more problems than the small problems that a wind farm will cause.

Yes, however there are better ways to go about stealing other peoples land to save us all. Compromises will need to be made, and ones that don’t entirely fuck over the poor need to be fought for.
