Uber's Green Competitor Is Riding A $30 Trillion Mega-Trend

If it’s not green, it’s not millennial--and that’s a big problem for a company like Uber, or Lyft. Millennials love ride-sharing, but they don’t appreciate the CO2 footprint that comes with it.

The immediate problem for Uber is this: The next-generation of ride-sharing is already here--born out of massive millennial demand. It’s green through and through, and it’s set to command some serious market share.

Millennials are driving a new mega-trend: impact-investing. Facedrive, the first ride-sharing company that lets you plant a tree while you drive, and choose exactly what kind of footprint you want to leave behind, is leading this new trend.

“It’s not just that millennials, and younger generations in general, are increasingly opting out of the expenses and hassles of owning and parking a car,” Facedrive CEO Sayan Navaratnam told Oilprice.com in a recent interview. “It’s phenomenally bigger than that: Millennials demand more conveniences, and they demand that they be green. We are giving them that before anyone else does.”

When one thinks of vacuous Millennials investing snowflake-style, it makes one wonder how they will cope with a Depression.

Now that will be a trillion dollar a year business.

Send facepalms to others while you watch millenials and libtards virtue signal and smell their own farts.

My idea would let you make your car out of a tree, and help the vagrants at the same time.

At first thought this was satire. God help us when the snowflakes actually take over.

I hope it’s a conservative selling and planting those trees for a profit.

I doubt it, millenials aren’t rich and don’t have much money. And they aren’t very smart if they’re thinking this is a great idea.

Idiotic nonsense. But what do you expect from a generation that has been so thoroughly indoctrinated?
