I do think there is something to be said for creating a culture of sustainability. The values then become reflected in a society’s laws. If we as a people have even just a baseline consideration of our waste and energy consumption, then it stands to reason we’ll apply pressure to the truly responsible parties over time. It also helps remove personal politics from the equation if everyone already sort of agrees we should be mindful as a standard sentiment. The fact that we have folks whose identity is tied to pollution, to the point where we had people at rallies going “drill baby drill!” barely more than a decade ago, says a lot. Remember: the GOP created the EPA. They used to be more openly supportive of conservation. The truly responsible parties love the fact that millions of Americans are going to bat for their “right” to trash and pollute our country.
