That's because companies don't want us to reduce or in many cases reuse, but recycle makes everyone feel good inside (even though in many cases even that doesn't happen, but we as consumers don't care).
- rexpop 6y ago> companies don't want Thank you for saying this. It's crucial that we recognize how consent is manufactured by corporate propaganda that goes way beyond the simplistic "buy our product!" messaging that folks normally think of. Our reality is dictated by private companies to suit their bottom lines. We've got to be very careful to make sure we know what's good for us, what we want, and how to get it. Corporate propaganda inserts memetic man-in-the-middle attacks at every step in that line of reasoning.
