  Not when nationalism is king, and "make <whatever> great again" is the priority. That tends to lead to focusing on one thing, and doing it very terribly.

    I don't think even the worst nationalists only focus one one thing. But to be honest, I'd be okay with ignoring plastic for another decade if we'd make settling Mars the only topic anybody is allowed to work on.

    I hate nationalism but i i don't think it is any better any worse as far as the environment is concerned than any other ideology. Although yes the current wave of it seems to be particularly bad for the environment.

    Environment protection is basically homeland protection.
