Corporations invented Jaywalking to pass the problem of death by vehicle from the manufacturer to the victim. Corporations invented the concept of Litterbug to shift blame from the makers of trash to the disposers of trash. Corporations invented the concept of the personal carbon footprint to shift the blame from the makers of carbon to the users of carbon.
This is just the same thing. Corporations are good at this.
Corporations:
Where I live our recycling rate is pretty good and a lot of it either ends up recycled back to use or is used for energy. A lot less stuff ends up in the landfill. Seems to work alright, the rates could be higher but that's something that varies from country to country.
In the US we can't even recycle plastic anymore because China quit buying it. I've read that tons of recycled paper/cardboard just ends up in a landfill too because recyclers get too much to handle or it gets contaminated. One of the 3 "R's" is "reduce" meaning not generating that waste to begin with, but many people only consider the "recycle" part as being all they need to do to be doing things sustainably.
Not just one of the Rs, it's the first R. It's the most important one!
Trash has been around far longer than corporations, and people have taken responsibility for their trash long before corporations existed.
Okay, thank you for setting me straight.
