    This starts with corporations.

    The masses can start doing paper and glass, but corps are by far way more wasteful with plastics.

    3m recently invented a great replacement for packing supplies. Instead of plastic bubble bags you get this paper that opens into cushionlock

      Recycling was the big lie the corporations forced down everyone’s throat. They shifted the blame from those who produce plastic products to those who consume them. They slowly replaced all packaging materials with plastic in the name of convenience and saving money and weight.

      Later, when recycling was deemed not be effective enough and the corporations needing a new scapegoat, They rebranded and green washed everything. Now every corporation has a mission statement than includes their commitment to environmental responsibility. While in the background they’re selling their carbon credits and laughing at gullible people who believe the current bullshit they pass off as environmentalism.
