Alternate take, its all just a product of energy and materials extraction being super cheap so money basically becomes a representative of human attention/effort. its very hard to change as the behavior is permeated everywhere. IMO a better approach would be to provide guardrails against poor disposal for non-easily biodegradable stuff like plastics. especially the once we let go in ocean. the big eye-opener for me was when I learned that plastics can take as much as 5000 years to fully decompose. that means the single use bag I use to pickup my food from restaurant will last as much as the entire human civilization in nature for my 10 minute convinience.
