My most outspoken Green New Deal supporting friends & family who were reposting social media of Greta & AOC are also 0-1 child households with SUVs.
It's hashtag activism.
No one wants to make sacrifices.
The only solutions are going to be finding ways to grow our way out of it and incentivize good things (fuel economy, EVs, rail, solar, wind, nuclear, geothermal heat pumps, etc).
Neither Degrowth nor expecting people to vote their conscience with their wallet are going to work.
Even today - look at how tax incentivized solar is, and how fast the break-even is.. and yet how few people take advantage of it?
