800 million people (so just the population of US, CA, and EU) doing small things can absolutely have a larger impact though. Rich bastards do have a vastly larger impact than individual normal people but using that to say “I don’t have to do anything, the others are more at fault” is not helping anyone.
Recycling is about more than just plastics. It is a bit funny to me how that has always been the main focus though given how afaik it’s a lot less viable and/or useful than aluminium, cardboard, glass recycling.

I agree that works for stuff like ‘don’t litter’. But recycling at scale is literally impossible and they knew this when they pushed plastics on us.

Also there are significantly less rich people
