    So the only way to change things is by forcing other people to change their ways? Except for the leftist movie/pop stars, I’m sure they’ll get waivers to fly their private jets all over the world so that they’re left as fans could enjoy the concerts. This is what the whole of the United States thinks of this, it’s a trojan horse for control of the out group and exemptions for the in group

      I think the actual point is that making people personally responsible isn’t a sustainable solution long-term.

      Just as an example I’ve been recycling probably 99% of plastic that comes into my home. Though I actively avoid buying products with plastic packaging it’s impossible to do this on any meaningful scale alone.

      We need to incentivize producers to find better ways to package their products. If we can prevent waste at its source rather than having to convince everyone “please recycle bro” we could actually improve the world. (Also, have you seen people “sort” their curbside recycling bin?)

        Well I wish this would happen but I think corporations would assassinate politicians before trying to save the planet

          Jesus Christ, there’s more money in a living planet than a dead one. The moment regular people like you just start expecting corporations to do better, and punish the ones that don’t, this all gets fixed in one or two financial quarters.
