What's the goal of these warnings? If the right people cared about global warming and pollution, they could implement a simple law, at least in the US and EU: every item sold must be imprinted with a manufacturer id that's responsible for properly disposing this item. Coca-Cola would go bankrupt, but the amount of plastic trash in the ocean will be halved. Most consumer goods will double in price, because disposing a broken washing machine is not a small feat. The unhinged consumerism will end, but with it will end the economy as we know it.
