I think people are willing to hear it, and they probably know it already. It’s rather that companies aren’t willing to admit it because let’s be honest, if everyone had to bring their own cup to Starbucks, their sales would plummet.
We really need to stop blaming individual people for not doing their part and start blaming the system for having the wrong incentives.

Yes, we definitely should fix the incentives wherever possible, because many people are just going to blindly follow the incentives. Those who don't will often get outcompeted by those who do. On the other hand, if ethics does not mean "do not always blindly follow your incentives", I wonder what else it might possibly mean.
- Swenrekcah 4y agoYeah I sort of agree but badgering people for flying or buying a new car or something is I thin just a bit counterproductive because people probably won’t like it very much. It would be more productive to badger representatives to make better legislation. It used to be that conspicuous consumption was frowned upon, I think that was probably a good thing.
