> The only real choice we have is to give our money and positive/negative attention to these organizations irrespective if they are governments or companies, so I would ask why not make both types of organizations responsible?
What has that got to do with my point?
- xiphias2 7y agoYou wroye this: ,,What about the government policies regarding recycling or waste management? Or consumer behavior regarding waste?'' The problem with consumer behaviour change is that it doesn't scale. There are billions of people who pollute much less than an averahe person living in US, but they are unable to offset it Blaming doesn't need much effort, so even though it has less direct effect, it can scale better through social media. Regarding government policies (and especially enforcement) you are totally right though.
- jamesrcole 7y agoSaying that a party is to “blame” (or “is responsible”) for something, and “make them responsible” for something — these do not mean the same thing. They have quite different meanings.
