Many of your points are either wrong or something many gardeners (particularly the younger end of the spectrum IME) are very conscious of. Of course all of this comes with the caveat of being anecdotal and from my own experience as a former allotment gardener and now back-garden veg grower in my 30s. 1: use of pesticides is uncommon amongst most veg gardeners, even mainstream garden magazines and culture now cover the harm of plastic use in pots etc. Note also is relatively simple to drastically cut plastic use in veg gardening by growing from seed and avoiding plastic plug trays. 2: again people are very conscious of peat use, indeed many nations have incoming bans. 3: one of the first things most allotment gardeners do is get a water butt set up to collect rainwater. Most allotments don’t allow hosepipes so if nothing else it saves lugging water back from the nearest tap. Similarly it’s easy to get water storage setup in any garden, it’s one of the first “hardware” projects on most hobbyist gardeners agenda.
