Paula ne pense pas grand-chose de l'environnement

&Can you please clarify the meaning here? The translation, Paula doesn’t think much of the environment, is a bit ambiguous (and awkward ounding). In English this could mean (and one would more likely say) either “Paula doesn’t care much about the environment”, or “Paula doesn’t spend much time thinking about the environment.” But of course they mean different things. Which meaning applies here?

This question relates to:French lesson "Ne ... pas grand-chose = Not ... much (French Negations)"

The meaning here is that Paula doesn't care much about it. It is NOT about the time she spends thinking about it.
