If you think about it, being environmentally conscious is kind of an important thing in modern human life. Is it really that strange that a life simulator is diving into an extremely important area of modern human life?
I would argue caring about the environment is just as much a part of life as pets are, or the seasons, etc.
Yes, I agree very strongly that taking care of the environment is important...but the way that this theme has been approached through this EP and its marketing is the same PSA environmentalism that dodges or glosses over the importance of things like bugging your elected officials to create and enforce environmentally-friendly regulations, voting for people who will support efforts to clean our planet up and keep it clean, and banding together against companies which put profits over protecting our environment, while patting the viewer on the head and telling them, "Plant some trees and pick up your garbage and everything will be juuuuust fine, Dear. Here, have a granola-raisin cookie."
I would have liked to see a bit more of that tougher, more "challenge the status quo, because it's killing our planet," environmentalism here, as opposed to just the surface stuff that you see in every PSA ever made. I would have liked to see some gameplay where the eco-friendly sims push back against a big polluter and picket outside of City Hall to demand greener policies. Instead, we get this old weak, "stay in your corner, Honey," environmentalism that doesn't trigger the greedy corporate types in the least and does only the bare minimum for the planet in real life. It's eye-rollingly bad.
