Environmentalists are fighting an uphill battle so long as business, whose packaging decision are practically unilateral, aren't held accountable for their contributions.
The "education" that gets the most funding is simple mis-direction away from supply-side pollution to consumer-blaming "solutions".
- meruru 7y agoYes, but how do you make businesses accountable? Legislation perhaps? Who's going to vote for those? Perhaps if we could educate people to care, but as I said we're already trying that. On a individual basis, I guess bringing up the issue more often is the best we can do really, I would definitely appreciate more environmentalism in politics discussions, but it feels very low-impact.
- rexpop 7y ago> how do you make businesses accountable? Well, to whom are businesses accountable currently? Shareholders. Naive solution: make impacted communities shareholders.
